26. ELEVATION OF CHEST AND BREATHING

Sit erect, as tall as possible. Expand the chest fully, carry the

arms forward, then backward, gripping the hands almost under the

shoulders, chest out as far as possible, taking a deep breath.

Repeat this rhythmically many times, sustaining as far as possible

the expansion of the chest.

It will be observed that there will come naturally a desire to sit up.

It may be well before sitting up to turn on the back and rest a moment

and feel the enjoyment of the actions that have been in the body. If the

exercises have been properly practiced, there will be a sense of ease

and satisfaction.
