Exercise 7
Stand facing a wall. Put your hands against the wall with your wrists, elbows
and shoulders at the same height. Relax your neck and shoulder muscles while
standing in this position. Now try to push the wall away. If you do do the ac-
tion correctly, your toes will automatically lift. Hold the contraction for five
seconds and repeat 10 times.
Exercise 8
Bend your head 15º
forward. Apply slight
pressure with your head
into your hand as de-
scribed in exercise 1,
but no movement must
take place. Hold the
contraction for six sec-
onds. Now bend your
head further forward
and repeat the contrac-
tion as described at dif-
ferent angles.
