LEG-STRETCHING exercise, supplementing the one given in Re A ducing Lesson XXVII. and which combines other movements val- uable for the eliminative organs, large abdomen and hips, ts illus trated with this lesson. It is practised as follows: Lie flat on your back on the floor or bed, lege extended together, hands folded behind the neck, #0 that you can watch and control the movements of the legs. Raise the right leg up straight until it ts at right angles with the body. Koep the knee rigid and toe pointed down. Lower the leg to etarting position and then raise the left leg in the same manner. After lowering the left leg raise both legs up straight together, and just as you are abovt to lower them bend the knees and bring them up to the chest. ‘Then straighten and lower both legs to original starting position and relax all muscles a few minutes. Some persons never completely master the straight leg stretching, so do not be discouraged and do not attempt to raise the legs too high if it strains you to do so.
