• Find a wall with a big enough space for you to lean on.
• Sit against the wall like you would in a chair.
• Keep your legs at 90 degrees, and hold.

• Sit on the floor holding a bottle with liquid in.
• Lean back with a straight back and engage your core.

• Make it harder by lifting your feet off the floor.
