Scissor Kicks- 
scissor kicks

-Lie down on your back with heels also flat on the ground and palms down at your sides.
-Slide your hands beneath your hips to balance yourself and stretch your legs. Lift your legs till they are 15 cm above the ground.
-Perform a scissor like movement while lifting one leg high off the ground and moving the other one lower to the ground.
-Your legs will not cross over each other, but thighs will squeeze together while they pass each other.
-Your lower abdominal and inner thigh muscles should remain tightened throughout the activity.
-Continue with this motion for about 10 seconds or count 15.
-Go back to original position, rest for 5-6 seconds and repeat. Do 3 sets of this exercise each day.
Your inner thighs and lower abdomen are toned with this exercise.
