This produces a graceful exercise which is excellent work for the muscles of 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.
