UPPER ARMS.

See Figs. 26 and 27.

Extend the arms horizontally. Tense the arms, close your hands half way (thumb and fingers opposing each other). Pull both hands straight for the shoulders; pull slowly as if resisting an opposing force. Make the muscular contraction very positive at the end of every movement. Relax. Push the hands back to position slowly as if resisting an opposing force. Extend arms to the utmost. Relax.

Do not allow the elbows to lower in either movement.

Seven times.
