Stay right on the floor in a sitting position, with hands behind for balance. We're ready to slim down your legs. Raise first the left leg, then the right, and slap, really beat those legs on the floor about fifty times.

How about those ankles? Stay right on the floor and raise first the right leg and circle the foot from the ankle, keeping the leg straight, a little circle to the right twenty times, and to the left twenty times; now the left leg.

What we're all striving for is a well-developed, well-proportioned figure, straight shoulders, small waist and hips, well-shaped legs, and thin ankles, so you too can stand up—smile and be proud.
