Sit on the floor with your legs bent in front of you, knees together and feet flat. Reach your arms forward so they touch the outside of your knees, palms facing each other. Keeping your legs fixed in a bent position, slowly lean back, raising your feet up about 12 inches off the ground. Balance on your backside and hold this position for as long as you can. Bring your legs back to the floor and repeat for as many repetitions as possible.

Perform the same pose, only this time try to extend your legs as far out in front of you as you comfortably can.
