WITHOUT A MASTER. 23
properly you will have to practice balancing, as before described, or you may get an ugly fall. Stand in the first position, throw one leg over each bar, and rest your hands on the
bar behind the legs. Remember your swinging practice. Disengage the feet, swing boldly through the bars, and when your
legs are fairly through the bars extend them and seat yourself
astride with your face in the opposite direction. Swing at one
end of the bars, and when in full course spring forward, catch
the bars with the hands, when the body, if it is gracefully done,
will be in *£» position of the lowered body, [See Fig. 36. ] If
not done carefully, beware of how you fall. The curling movement commences with the second style of the Letter L. [See
Fig. 41.] Count eight or ten, then turn slowly over, keeping
the knees straight until you hang in reverse. Come slowly
back, until you assume the original position. Another good
movement is to slide the hands forward and the legs backward;
put the toes over the bars until you form the "Indian Cradle, [See Fig. 42]. This does not give a pleasant sensation.
After a short interval draw yourself up again. These exercises
are not necessarily performed m the order given. They may
be varied almost ad infinitum.
CLIMBING.
Exercise 39.—Procure a stout board, and according to its
length set it against the wall at an angle of from 30 ° to 45 °.
Seize both sides of the board, place the feet flat in the center,
and ascend by moving hands and feet, in short steps, alternately, [See Fig. 44. ] This exercise throws great stress on the
muscles of the loin and back, as well as the extensor mus-
eles. A pole may be ascended in the same manner, but care
must be taken that the shoes are not slippery. This movement
can be performed in a room.
Exercise 40.—Procure a ladder, and raise the body by seiz*
lug hold of the rundles alternately underneath [See Fig. 44.]
