2. Place the arm on the side you are lying down, on the floor under your head or bend your elbow and cradle your head. Your other hand can rest on your leg or hip.
3. Raise the upper leg off the lower one gently, without bending it and then bring it back down. Do it for a while and then repeat with the other leg.
Fonda went on to talk about how each of us could contribute towards saving the planet. “You know what, there’s too many workouts happening right now on TV or computers. What I would really like you to do is workout with me for the planet. There’s a climate crisis, which is a real emergency,” she expressed in the video.
