Step 1: stretch
Step 2: put your hand on your foot, so your thumb should be on the sole of your foot and the rest of your fingers should be placed on the top of you foot. Your knee should be matching the knee on your other leg
Step 3: bend you back and with your other hand try to put your it flatly on the ground. (your in bent leg MUST BE STRAIGHT).
Step 4: try and pull your bent leg higher and higher. It may take up to 3 wks to do a fully back leg mount (that's if you practice for at least 30mins every day)!
Good luck :)

Are doing leg lifts by holding both legs straight and an inch off the floor bad for the back?
I don't know it it is bad for the lower back but you can modify it to reduce stress on the back. When you do this exercise place your hands, palm down, beneath your butt. Then do the leg lift and remember to breathe. If you are concerned about your back and are looking for an alternative, several versions of supine double leg raises can be found in Pilates and other well-established fitness methods.
