1. Lie down flat on your back on the floor or an exercise mat with your legs extended straight out in front of you.

2. Place your hands by your sides or under your glutes for lower back support.

3. Lift one leg off the ground to an approximately 90-degree angle or as high as you can while keeping your leg straight.

4. Keep the other leg straight and either keep it hovering above the ground or let it rest on the ground, depending on your core strength and control.

5. Lower the raised leg back to the starting position in a controlled manner.

6. Alternate and raise the other leg to the same angle, maintaining the straightness and control.

7. Continue to alternate between legs for the desired number of repetitions.

8. Focus on keeping your abdominals engaged and your lower back pressed into the floor to avoid any arching during the exercise.

Remember to breathe steadily throughout the exercise, exhaling as you lift each leg and inhaling as you lower it. Adjust the range of motion to suit your current fitness level, with the goal of keeping the movements controlled and avoiding any jerky motions.
