Get Up

From your back, roll forward and cross one leg under and put the other foot out in front of you. Thrust your hips forward and rock your weight onto the front foot. At the same time, push off the back foot so you're kneeling upright on one knee and one foot. Your back and hips should be straight, or possibly a little bit forward. Slowly lower yourself back down to the ground, roll back and cross the other leg under to repeat. If this is too difficult at first, use a hand to help yourself up. Squeezing the glutes and thrusting the hips forward is the key to making this work. As you progress, try not to roll back, but rather just sit down onto your rear, switch your feet, and Get Up from there.
