The right foot should be resting on top of the left foot.
Rest your upper body on your left elbow with the fore arm extended and your palm down on the mat.
Now slowly lift your right leg so that your legs form a wide v-shape. Now lower the leg bringing your feet together and repeat.

Donkey kicks

Get into an all fours position on the mat with palms down.
Make sure to keep your spine straight and extend the right leg fully behind you.
Ensure that your body is supported by your arms and the left knee must remain in the kneeling position.
Push your right leg back up into the air and then back down.

Adding an extra snack that consists of two slices of whole wheat bread that is topped off with 2 tablespoons of almond peanut butter and a cup of freshly sliced bananas will add about 600 calories.

Try to alternate the added extra calories to each meal. Let’s say, for example, during breakfast you can sprinkle an ounce of walnuts on your cereal or at lunch you can have about 8 ounces of Greek yogurt for desert.

After dinner you can drink a glass of low-fat milk to boost your day’s calorie intake by 500 cal. The extra calcium that is in milk will support your body’s growth and muscle development.
