ABDOMEN, BACK, SHOULDERS, ARMS.
See Figs. 15 and 16.
With the body resting only on the palms of the hands and on the toes, raise and lower the body slowly—without getting your back up.
Push the body up full length of the arms and then lower it until the face nearly touches the floor. Do this very slowly, but do not allow the body to sag in going down nor to curve the other way in going up. From the head to the feet it should remain as rigid as a log.
Ten or more times.
