1.Put your hands on top of your head
2.breath in through your nose and out through your mouth
3.Put your hands in the air, like your raising your hand except put them both up
I hope this helps

karenR answered Tuesday April 5 2005, 4:24 pm: I don't recommend eating to much before you exercise. to help prevent cramps make sure you drink plenty of water during the day...just not a lot right prior to. It will make you sick if you eat or drink much before.
Karen answered Tuesday April 5 2005, 4:17 pm: You want to eat something that will give you energy to allow you to exercise or anything that allows you to move a lot. Foods that have carbohydrates, carbs for short, are things that you should eat but not too much before you exercise. Anything healthy is fine but I never eat before I exercise but it's different for everyone. To minimize cramps from exercising, try to stretch before and breath properly and that will help. Drinking water while you exercise will help. [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]
