First, raise the outstretched arms above the head,, ' the body retaining its erect position, ' then bend slowly forward frdin the waist, so that the Angers com a near touching the floor as possible, without straining In any way,- Thla Is done -without bending- "tha knees. In recovering position let the arms ' relax and sink down as the - body stralgbtene up. ? Second, with hands -placd lightly on the bips. the fingers pointing .forward, let th- body drop forward easily, so that it Is bent in at -the waist. Thla must be done a-ently. as by Jerking more harm than Soodto don, f From , thi bent posi . tion roll th body around to th ' rixht counting four for It to reach the position of being bent over-th alde.then tothe back, being careful to do it. very easily at first, till the muscles have gained strength, for an exaggeration of the movement may cause real pain. Then on to the left,:' i and back to the front. Practice again, only start toward the left. The waist " acts as a pivot on which tha trunk swings, and the head is easily relax-, ed Third.' In this exercise the hands have the same position, but now the body is bent forward from the waist, v then back to the right and left Each " movement should occupy four counts. Take these exercises gently, but let , the movements be firm and strong.. Avoid the slightest strain of the mua- ' cles. No corsets should be worn while :- practicing them.
