The Slim-Down Shimmy.4)Modified Scissors.

Lie on back. Extend right leg toward ceiling, toes pointed. Pull belly button toward spine without pressing spine to floor so you maintain a natural curve. Curl head and shoulders off floor, grasping right thigh with both hands. Raise left leg 2 to 6 inches off floor, toes pointed. (If you have a bad back, keep left leg on floor and bend right leg so knee points toward ceiling.) Inhale and pause. Exhale and switch legs. Continue alternating legs for 10 to 15 reps.
