First Exercise: Splash-Slide

Lift that elbow, maintaining contact with your body!
Ooh, feel that stretch!
Be sure, to remain upright!
Alternating arms, for several minutes, slow & easy!
Challenge: !
Move your feet wider apart & evenly, as you continue the Splash- Slider!
Now, apply pressure inwardly, towards your middle, in both palms & grip "gently" with your finger tips, too!
Let your knees bend, gently & naturally with the movement.
As you are sliding your palm downward to your knee, finger tips working; Allow your head & neck to relax, off to the side, bending, lifting that opposite elbow,, gently relaxing into alignment, increasing the total stretch of the WAISTLINE!
Work both sides "evenly!"
Vary the stance & play with it, to work different areas of your middle, your WAISTLINE!
