"A little exercise..."

My instructor got us to do this at TaeKwonDo last night, it was really difficult. I don't recommend doing it if you have a bad back.

Lie down flat on an even surface looking upward, and put your hands under your back - works best if you put them at the small of your back, touching each other.

Then raise your feet and legs 2 inches off the ground or so and move them around. First open and close them, then move them around in small circles.

Keep flat while you do this, don't arch upward.
Keep your legs up as long as you can.

Painful, eh?

I tried it. I'm now in traction. Thanks.

Looks simple, but hurts a lot. I remember someone saying, "Why 2 inches? I can lift 'em all the way!" Er... not the point, but he was a chav.

I haven't done that type of exercise, or any "lay on back" ones for ages now. The floor in my room is goddamn dirty. What is it good for anyway? (huh!)

Painful but I've done worse. For me anyway. Some exercises I find really hard while others fine it really easy and vice-versa.

Yeah, we used to do that at boxing. Damn painful, especially on the back.

Afterwards they'd make us keep our legs in the air; first one to drop them had to do 30 push ups. God DAMN that was painful.

Ha, you did as well.

Sausage supper.... ah how I miss my drunken snack.

Hamburger supper.

Delicious.

Deep fried mars bars and a nice glass of grease?

I went on a good walk today.

To the chip shop.

I injured my knee earlier... or I would.

Meh, it's not exercise, it's pain.
