Stooping Push—Toe a line with the feet wellspread. Reach behind the heels, take a book, andsee how far forward you can push it (keeping bothhands together), without losing your balance. Snap Up Variations—Fold the arms acrossthe chest and,snap up. This requires a more vigor-ous throw of the legs and a harder push from thehead and shoulders than when the hands are used. Start to do a forward roll, but pause an instantwhen the shoulders touch the mat, then snap forward and repeat. Do three or four in suc-cession. Do a hand stand; bend the arms slowly untilthe head touches the mat, and drop the leg back-ward to position 20. As the shoulders touch themat, snap up. Do the same from a head stand. 46 HOW i?o. 76 Splits —Sit on the floor and see ifyou can move thelegs sidewards untilthey form right an-gles with the trunk().
