1. Lie flat on your stomach, facing the floor.
2. Lift the front part of your body slowly, keep your head up while at it.
3. Lift to the most comfortable point you find bearable/comfortable
4. Put your arms at the side and place your hands on the hips.
5. Keep this exercise position for at least ten minutes
Doing the exercise everyday helps strengthen and straighten your back and leg muscles and with time your body posture is corrected.
