[If this exercise does not seem to suit the individual, then it may be preferable to make a swift movement as [Illustration: EXERCISE IX.--FIRST POSITION. [_To face page 82._ [Illustration: EXERCISE IX.--SECOND POSITION. [_To face page 82._ [Illustration: EXERCISE XIII.--FIRST POSITION. [_To face page 83._ [Illustration: EXERCISE XIII.--SECOND POSITION. [_To face page 83._ if to pick up objects from the ground first in front of you, then on one side, then on the other, then above you.] EXERCISE XI.--(For muscles of the trunk and back.) Stand firm on both feet all the time, and keeping the head facing forwards, swing the trunk round first to the left and then to the right, letting the arms move freely to help the swing. Do not strain, but try to increase the extent of the turn gradually day by day. Repeat half a dozen times. EXERCISE XII.--(For muscles of back and leg.) Lie flat on the floor, with hands clasped behind the head. Draw right knee sharply up towards the chest, then kick it back to the full extent of the leg, stretching out toes as far as they will go. Do the same with left foot, and repeat ten times. EXERCISE XIII.--(Neck and trunk and shoulders.) Stand with feet and knees straight. Then turn the head round with moderate rapidity as far as it will go to the right, letting the body follow it. Remain for a moment, shrug the right shoulder, and revert the position, turning the head as far as possible to the left. Then shrug the left shoulder. Repeat six times. [With this exercise too great speed of movement should not be attempted at first, until the muscles of the neck have become pliant with exercise. Before long, however, the head can with ease be turned so far round that the eyes will cover a _circle and a half_.] See Photograph. EXERCISE XIV.--(Combined exercise for arms, legs and trunk.) Stand in an easy position, slightly sideways, the weight on the left foot. Then take a rapid stride forward with the right foot, the toe of the left still remaining on the ground, and simultaneously lunge forward as rapidly as possible with right arm to its full extent, following it with a forward and downward motion of the body. Recover smartly to the original position. Do the same with the left foot and arm, repeating ten or twelve times. Later on the lunge can be made in other directions as well as straight forwards.
