88 PHYSICAL TRAINING 



much as in No. 6, only twist around to the left, 

 so that the hands instead of being in front of the 

 feet, are above the side, let us say, of the left 

 foot. Then quickly swing upwards and around, 

 with a twisting motion, till, when the hands are 

 overhead you are facing almost directly to the 

 right; continue several times and repeat, swing- 

 ing upwards to the left from the lower right. 



Exercise No. 11. Lie on one side, keeping the 

 body and legs in a straight line, resting upon one 

 elbow as shown in the illustration. Then slowly 

 lift the hips from the ground as high as you can, 

 keeping on one side, one foot being on top of the 

 other. Continue until you begin to feel tired; 

 then turn over and make the same number of 

 motions up and down on the other side. 



This is a fairly " strenuous" exercise and care 

 should be taken not to have a child continue 

 beyond the first feeling of fatigue. 



Exercise No. 12. This is a continuation of 

 No. 11. When the hips have been raised as far 

 as possible, raise the upper foot also as high as 

 possible; then bring back the foot till it rests on 

 the other foot, and then bring the hips down to 

 the floor. 



It should be understood, by this time, without 

 further repetition, that these exercises are to be 

 continued till the child begins to feel tired. Our 

 sensations can be trusted on most occasions.
