 Place your hands flat on the floor, with fingers facing forwards directly under your shoulder joint.
Keeping on your toes during the exercise, take one leg from the rear, up towards the chest in a smooth motion. You will find that this exercise will also work your shoulder muscles. You can reduce the workload on your shoulders by resting your hands on a raised secure platfrom, such as a step box.
Once the foot of this leg reaches the ground, the other leg should then start to come up towards the chest, and at the same time the leading leg should go back to the starting position.
