the body and shoulders. In the "Daily Dozen" this is called "The Weave."

Assuming the "Stride Position," advance the right foot about a foot;
then, with the arms in "Cross" position once more, bend the forward knee
and touch the ground with the hand, at the same time keeping the other
arm extended backward.

Reverse this.

This movement is also excellent for the muscles of the body and back.


Wall Balance (Ready-Bend!)

Stand sideways to the wall about two feet and a half away; now extend
both arms in the "Cross" position, and then lift the foot that is
farthest away from the wall and lean over until the extended fingers of
the other hand touch the wall; push back into original position. Move
out a little farther from the wall and repeat. Do this until the
distance is as far as can comfortably be recovered by pushing the hand
against the wall.

Reverse this exercise, so as to do it with the other arm.

This is an excellent workout for the shoulder muscles as well as for the
forearms, and gives some exercise to the body.
