Standing erect at "Attention," step to the right with the right foot
about six inches, merely touching the toe to the ground, and bring the
foot back to the "Attention" position.

The object of this movement is to give control of the muscles of the leg
in addition to the balancing of the body. Care should be taken to keep
the body absolutely motionless while the exercise is in progress. The
toe is only touched to the ground and the foot is brought immediately
back into position.

This movement has a quieting effect after more violent exercising. It
can be done either sideways, forward, or back.


Running in Place (Mark Time--March!)

Beginning with "Marking Time!" Now raise the feet alternately from the
ground, a little higher each time, until the knees come up practically
to a level with the waist. Then perform this same motion on the toes and
shift into a run while still holding the same position--that is, while
going up and down on the toes. Men who have considerable weight around
the waist-line should place their hands on the abdomen when performing
this exercise.


Body-turning (Ready-Cross! Ready-Turn!)

This movement consists in turning the body at the hips while keeping the
feet and legs in the original position. It may be done from almost any
of the positions already outlined, and is moderate work for the muscles
