12 MANLY EXERCISES
Rise again without removing the hands from the hips, or tWt
toes from a given line. Vary this by crossing the toes. Bend
the knees gradually until you sit down a la Turk. Rise again
without moving the hands from the hips. ' Very hard this.
Exercise 18.—You have probably found your level ere you
have become proficient with the foregoing. Close your feet,
extend your arms in front, bend the right knee gradually, and
sit down in the same position. Try both legs alternately.
This feat will at first seem a poser, but it is not so impossible
as it at first appears.
Exercise 19.—This is a pleasant amusement both for old
and young, and if done properly, calls, it is said, three hundred muscles into play. Place the feet close together, put the
hands on the hips, rise on the toes, bend the knees and lower
the body gradually till the thighs touch the heels. Extend
your arms in front and fall forward, not on your nose but on
your hands and toes. Keep the knees straight and body stiff,
as shown In Fig. 1. Now take a piece of chalk and mark with
the right hand as far as you can. Now let your companion try
and do the same. By a little competition and practice, it will
be found that each trial will show an improvement in the
length of stretch. You should spring from the ground at a
bound, and clasp your hands as you rise.
Exercise 20.—Stand with your feet close together and hands
on hips, jump up and spread out the legs, close them, and cross
them alternately.
Keep the toes pointed, or else they will come into collision
with each other as they cross.
Exercise 21.—A pleasant feat is to jump through the hands
held in front of the body, with the tips of the middle fingers
together. Be careful though of your chin or your knees will
catch it, which is far from pleasant; heeled shoes will also come
in contact in anything but an agreeable manner with your
thumbs. A variation of this is to have a staff or stick about
