Lie on your back. Place hands along the body. Inhale. Raise right leg up in air. Exhale, bending leg at knee. Inhale, straightening leg. The movement must flow as your leg completes a cycling motion in air. This is one round. Ensure you keep the other leg flat on ground.
You can fold it at the knee, and keep your foot flat on ground if you experience any discomfort in the initial stages of your practice. Do five rounds. Lower leg back with an exhalation. Relax. Repeat for other leg.
Avoid: If having knee pain, lower backache, heart or high BP problems.
Benefits: Same as other leg raises in the series.
