EXERCISE #9 - The Wish Bone
(This is another advanced move and takes practice in order to maintain balance so don't give up.
Just be careful that if you roll backward, you don't hit your head on anything.)

PREPARATION:

1. Sit on the floor, shoes off, soles of feet touching, legs bent.

2. Grasp all the toes of each foot with the same-side hand, palms down.

EXECUTION:

1. Slowly, trying to maintain balance, extend first one leg out to the side, then the other.
 NOTE: Beginners, keep one foot on the floor and extend only one leg out instead of both at the
same time.

2. Hold this arms-and-legs-open position and notice the abdominals working to keep you balanced
on your buttocks.
