Keeping your knees and toes pointing forward smoothly lift lower leg to a position of about 45 degrees.
Lower again under control and repeat. Swap onto the other side and repeat the same process.
Ankle weights or resistance bands can be used to make this exercise harder, alternatively you may decide to hold in the upper phase for 2 - 3 seconds, and avoid letting your foot rest on the floor during the lower phase.
