  1. Circle both arms first in the same direction, then in the opposite direction.
  2. Place your feet shoulder-width apart. Alternate between touching your opposite foot tip with one hand, then the other. Keep your legs stretched out. 
  3. Place your feet shoulder-width apart. Try to reach your left thigh with your right hand behind your back. Who can reach further down to the back of their knee or even to their calf? Then try the exercise in reverse with your left hand.
  4. Make yourself into a bench and then walk like a crab. 

Be careful when trying these exercises and stay concentrated so that you don't injure yourself.
