of the waist. Do it first with the arms in "Cross" position, turning to
the right as far as possible; then back to the "Front," or original,
position; then to the left as far as possible, and back to the "Front,"
or original, position, taking pains that the turning is executed above
the hips while the legs and feet hold their original position. A more
pronounced method is given in the "Daily Dozen" in "Wave" and "Weave."


Heel-raising (Ready-Rise!)

Standing on both feet at "Attention," raise the heels, and hold the
position for a moment; then drop the heels again. Repeat this.

Now, standing in "Stride Position," go up onto the toes again. Drop the
heels and repeat.

This is an excellent exercise for the muscles of the calf.
