exercise instructions
From exercise DVD instructions. I know what is meant, I am looking right at it... but cannot find the right term.
The person lies down on her back, then pulls the knees towards her so that the feet are flat on the ground. However, we don't have that much wiggle room for explanations, must find a shorter term.
Who can shed some light? Thanks much.
"In die Rückenlage kommen.
Die Füße *aufstellen*."

I like this wikihow page more than Michael’s (“We become happy out of ourselves”; “The first ten minutes we make the dynamic exercises”; “Knock with your butt on the earth”)

put your feet on the ground
Not sure what the issue is here. See below:
"Turn onto the back, put your feet on the ground.."
