*UPPER BODY (Before Casting)
| Standing with your feet wide, knees softly bent, twist at waist from side to side, let your arms follow. |  |
| Cross arms in front of waist and lift up (pretend you are taking off a T-shirt) let arms circle out, palms up, and float down. |  |
| As above, just circle the other way. Arms out to the sides, palm up, lift up your hands, cross and lower in front. |  |
| Bend your arms at the elbow, twist so palm faces forward then twist forearm so palm faces backward. |  |
| Make large circles with your wrists. |  |
*LOWER BODY (Hiking, Wading or Standing)
| Standing tall (one hand holding something for support) swing one leg at a time from your hip, forward and back. |
 |
| After completing the above movement, face your source of support, swing each leg across the front of your body, left and right. |  |
| With knees bent, hands on thighs, circle your knees, first in one direction, then the other direction. |  |
