Sit. Extend the legs straight in front, high enough for the feet to escape the floor. Extend the arms down by your side. Tense the arms and legs. Close and open the hands as in exercises Nos. 10 and 11. As you close the hands with a firm grip, draw the ball of the foot firmly toward your body (heels pressed forward). As you open the hands and extend the fingers, press the ball of the foot firmly forward (the heels toward the body). Do not raise or lower the legs.

Twenty-five times.
