Begin by assuming the "correct position," which must be rigidly maintained during the drill, only excepting those parts of the body in action. Toes at right angles; heels together, with weight upon balls of feet; legs stiff; abdomen well back; chest out; shoulders back and down; arms stiff at sides; chin slightly in; slight forward incline of whole body. _Head and Neck._--Bend the head forward upon the chest, and then up again to erect position; bend the head backward, and then erect; to the right side, and then erect; to the left, and then erect; "twist" it, looking over right shoulder, and then back again to position; around to the left, and again to position; "roll," dropping head upon chest; roll it toward the right side, around to back, continuing to the left, and back to front position. Reverse this roll. _Shoulders._--"Shrug" shoulders up, shrug forward, shrug back; roll, going up, to the back, down, and then forward. Reverse this roll. _Arms._--With arms stiff at sides, twist them in their sockets, toward the front, toward the back; bending the elbows, rest clinched hands upon chest; thrust arms forward to full extent, and back to position; out to sides, and back to position; straight down, and back to position; straight up, over the head, back and to place, always with even, steady, continuous motion. _The Hands._--Extending arms straight in front, and afterward to the sides, and then upward, open and close fingers to fullest extent. Shake the hands at the wrists. Up; down; to the sides; then with a rolling motion; slowly, and then faster. _The Chest._--Keeping the shoulders well back, and holding the breath, raise and lower the muscles of the chest. _The Abdomen._--Raise and lower, forward and back, the muscles of the abdomen. Learning to contract these muscles and to hold them back in position is a great help to a good carriage. _The Diaphragm._--Raise and lower diaphragmatic muscles, enlarging this part of the body to widest extent in each motion. _Hips._--Lifting stiff leg slightly from the floor, twist it at the hip toward the front; twist it toward the back; lifting the leg in same manner, "roll" it at hip-joint, working it to full extent, up, forward, down, and back. Leg motions, of course, must be taken, one side of the body, and then the other, alternately. _Legs._--Raise "stiff" leg forward and out, and then back to place; out to side, toward the back, and to place; flex leg at knee, and thrust forward and up quickly; flex and thrust to the side; flex and thrust to back; unhinge leg at hip and swing; out in front, to the side; across in front toward the back, and to position; swing in a circle, around and across in front, then around toward the back.
