If you can not reach this height and then you can put it on a little lower place. Crook your head to the knee to a degree when you have to stop at a point if your leg muscles become tight, and insist on ten seconds after that.
If you like, hold the legs or feet with your hands to stabilize your own body, and then relax. Each leg would like to experience about five or six times to repeat drills.
