Ring the Bell N.B. Remember! All the movements in the following exercises should be controlled and equally timed. (Approximately four seconds per in breath and four seconds per out breath for a strengthening movement and two to three seconds for a more aerobic workout.)

Start in eagle posture, with arms relaxed , and the centre of the Chi Baton™ held at one fist distance from the body.

On the in breath, express, gradually lifting the arms upwards, being careful not to raise the shoulders. As the Chi Baton™ becomes level with your eyes, follow it with your head so that the neck is kept open and free. At the end of the move, draw the elbows outwards, and back slightly, to open up the sides of the chest.

At the same time as you lift the Chi Baton™ gradually raise your heels off the floor as high as you can comfortably manage.

On the out breath, release, in a controlled manner, and gradually return to the start position.

Do six repetitions. N.B. Try to keep your heels touching each other throughout the movements. This helps prevent tipping forward and straining the toes. The knees should relax, and the pelvis tuck under as you make the upward movement, so that the head stays in the same place.
