Kes tahab õppima hakata


... vaikselt, häbelikult, natukehaaval ja omaette - olge lahked. Õpik on siin.

Lisaks üks väga armas harjutus, mis pärineb sellelt lehelt:

The Sphinx. I find that having a weight on your abdomen gives feedback to your muscles, helping you feel when you're doing the move right. Lie on your bed, on your back. Place your pet cat on your stomach. Cuddle it to make it lie down on its stomach, sphinx-like. It doesn't matter which end (the head or the tail) is pointing toward your face. If you don't have a pet cat (or a small dog about the same size), try substituting an object such as a brick of similar size, weight (8-14 pounds), and shape. Now, using only your abdominal muscles, push the cat's head as high as possible into the air at the same time you bring its tail end down lower. Hold this position a few seconds, until your cat relaxes. Now reverse it, making his tail go up higher and his head lower. Again, hold it until the cat relaxes. Repeat until your cat becomes offended with the abuse and stalks away in disgust. If you keep cuddling him with your hands while you do this, you may persuade him to stay longer. Once you're able to alternate comfortable with the cat on your stomach, try it standing up. From there, the rolling motion should be easy to accomplish.

P.S. Pilt pärineb Nabaratooriumi kodulehelt ja tehtud on see Hansapäevadel. Mitte minu poolt kahjuks.
