The basic steps are:

  1. After initially wetting your body, shut the water OFF.
  2. Lather up and scrub down with the water OFF.
  3. Turn the water back on to rinse off only.

The total time for the water running should be around two minutes.  This method may save up to 50 gallons of water per shower.  I recommend saving water by this method.

Stay clean, everybody.
