CHEST AND SHOULDERS.

See Figs. 39 and 40.

Bow the legs. Bring the half-closed hands to the front near the body, palms up, the fingers toward each other, the arms not fully extended but bent at elbow, forming a sort of half circle. Tense the arms and hands very strongly and swing them out and up at the sides, almost above the head, completing the circle without opening the arms. Rapidly and vigorously.

Fifteen times, without stopping.

Caution.Do not hold the breath.
