2nd Energizing Exercise
 The following are four
calesthenics which should be performed in order. They are intended to follow the spinnig
exercise as a complete set of exercises for both strengthening and lenthening the core.
They are also believed to have a stimulating effect on the chakras (bodily centers of
energy.)
1.) This exercise lengthens the backline while developing the
front line, without shortening it.
2.) Practice this on a carpeted floor or bed.
3.) Inhale in the starting position, exhale in the legs up
position.
4.) It may help to lift your head first, and then your legs. When
lifting the legs, attempt to keep the knees as straight as possible and bring the chin to
the chest. Remember -- it’s okay to modify this exercise by bending your knees if you
need to. With practice, you will become stronger.
Repeat 6 - 21 times.
