FOREARMS AND FINGERS.

See Figs. 12 and 13.

Extend the arms full length at side, palms down. Grasp, tightly, an imaginary or light dumbbell or rubber grips.

Without lowering the arms, draw the hands as far underneath as possible. This should be done slowly as if resisting an opposing force. Relax. Again tensing the muscles, raise the hands slowly to position and above as far as possible (without raising the arms), resisting the same imaginary opposing force.

Ten or more times.
