See Figs. 65 and 66.
Sit on the fioor, body erect. Hold a rod or stick in the hands; knuckles up.
Work the body right and left, as when paddling a canoe with a single oar. Carry each movement to the extreme turning point, the face following the movements of the hands. Endeavor to look directly to the rear, forcing the leading hand (the lower one) as far as possible. Do not allow the legs to move. This is an excellent exercise for the liver and kidneys.
Twenty-five times.
