    Breathing: Breathe steadily; do not hold your breath.

  2. 2

    Perform the effort phase

    Exhale, posteriorly tilt the pelvis, and raise the legs or knees through the Side Lying Leg Raise path using the abdominals rather than momentum.

    Breathing: Breathe steadily; do not hold your breath.

  4. 4

    Return under control

    Inhale and lower the legs slowly until the body returns to a quiet, fully controlled start.
