Your arms should be close to your sides with your palms flat on the mat. Your forehead should be touching the ground, and your eyes should be facing the mat. Shalabhasana, also known as the locust pose, stretches the abdominal muscles and stimulates the abdominal organs. If practiced regularly, it can enhance liver functionality, reduce excess fat around the hips, waist, thighs, and abdominal area, and thus, help you keep your cholesterol under control. While you are breathing in, raise your right leg. Keep your right leg straight and do not twist your hip. Hold for two to three seconds and keep breathing. While you are exhaling, bring your right leg down. Repeat this process with your left leg. As you are breathing in, lift both legs. Lift your legs as high up as possible, and keep your knees straight. Hold this position for three seconds. While breathing out, bring your legs down. Relax your body and rest. Use the leverage from your arms and hands to hold this position. Repeat this process two more times for a total of three rounds.

summary: Lie facedown on the floor. Raise your right leg. Lift both legs.

Because many casts are made of plaster, they are easily damaged by water. Getting the cast wet can also encourage mold or mildew growth inside the cast. Wet casts may also cause sores to form on your skin under the cast. Do not get the cast wet. Tape a heavy-duty plastic bag (such as a garbage bag) over your cast when you bathe or shower. Hold your cast outside the shower or bathtub so you reduce the likelihood of getting it wet. Wrap a washcloth or small towel around the top of your cast to keep water from leaking in under the cast. You may be able to purchase water-resistant cast shields from your doctor's office or a medical supply store. If your cast does get wet, pat it dry with a bath towel. Then, use a hair dryer on the "low" or "cool" setting for 15-30 minutes. If the cast is still wet or soft after you've tried to dry it, call your doctor. You may need a new cast. If your fingers get cold while you're in your cast, you may be having circulation problems. (Or it could just be cold in your house.) Elevate your wrist and wear a sock on your hand to keep your fingers cozy. Wiggling your fingers can help restore circulation. Putting on clothes with fasteners such as buttons or zippers may be difficult while you're in a cast. Wearing fitted clothing or clothes with tight sleeves isn't usually a good idea, as these may not fit over a cast. Choose loose, stretchy clothing. Elastic-waisted pants or skirts mean you don't have to fumble with fasteners. Shirts with short sleeves or sleeveless shirts are a good idea. Use your good arm to put the shirt sleeve over the cast and pull gently. Try to minimize how much you use the arm in the cast. Use a shawl or blanket to stay warm instead of a jacket, which could be harder to get into. A thick poncho or cape can be an easier choice rather than an outdoor coat. Don't be embarrassed to ask for help when you need it. If you're a student and you've broken the wrist of your dominant hand, you may need to ask for a note-taker or other accommodations while your wrist heals. Speak with your teacher or your university's disability resources center. If you can learn to write with your non-dominant hand, this will help, but this can be difficult and takes a long time. If you've broken the wrist of your non-dominant hand, use a heavy object like a book or paperweight to hold paper in place while you're writing. Use your injured arm as little as possible. When you can, use your non-injured arm to do daily tasks such as brushing your teeth and eating. This will help reduce inflammation in your injured wrist. Don't lift or carry things with your injured wrist. This could cause re-injury and prolong the healing process. This is particularly important if you have broken the wrist of your dominant hand. It is unsafe to drive in a cast and your doctor will likely tell you not to drive. Although it is not illegal to drive with a wrist cast, use sound judgement when deciding whether to drive or not. Other machinery particularly machinery that requires two hands to operate should be avoided.

summary: Avoid getting your cast wet. Dry your cast immediately if it gets wet. Wear a sock on your hand. Wear clothes that are easy to put on. Ask for a note-taker in class. Do tasks with your other hand. Avoid driving or operating machinery.

Most people can do a split, but it takes a lot of stretching and strength training. Some experts recommend taking at least one month to train and prepare your body to do a split. Follow the stretching and strength training regimen outlined in this article. Do not attempt to do a split without any training or preparation. In addition to preparing your body, wearing the right clothes is important for doing the split. You'll want to wear loose-fitting clothes like sweatpants to help with your range of motion. It would also help to wear socks on a wooden or tile floor, so you can easily slide your feet out to the side. Just like with any stretching regimen, you can't attempt a Chinese split without first warming up your muscles. If you've been following a daily stretch and exercise regimen for several weeks to prepare for a split, perform your usual warm up regimen (about 15 to 20 minutes of physical activity) to make sure your muscles are ready for a split. After you warm up, you need to do some preliminary stretches. Stretch every major muscle group that's involved in doing the split before trying to do the actual split. Try to work through all of the stretches you've done in the previous weeks leading up to your Chinese split attempt. These are the muscle groups you will be using to do the actual split, so loosen your body the same way you've been training. After you've warmed up, you can start working on the split. It will probably take several attempts over days or weeks to do this split, so don't expect to get it your first time. Remember to stop at any point if you feel pain. Stand with your feet greater than shoulder width apart. Bend down and put your hands on the ground. If you can't get your hands to the ground, you need to work on stretching more. Shift your weight to your heels and rotate your toes and knees so that they're facing up. Then gradually walk your feet out from under you. Keep your hands on the ground to maintain stability -- you don't want to go down too suddenly, or you could injure yourself. Stop and hold when you've reached your limit. Even if you don't fully complete the split, try to hold the position to get your body conditioned. It's very unlikely that you'll be able to to a full split right away. It's not unusual for people to take months to get it down properly, even when they stretch every day. Keep up your routine and you'll be able to loosen up your muscle enough to perform a full Chinese split. Try to extend the duration of your splits each day. Stay hydrated. Not drinking enough water can cause muscle cramps and may make you less flexible. Reduce inflammation in your legs and hips to help increase flexibility. One way to do this is by taking Omega 3 fatty acid supplements. Once you've completed the necessary flexibility and strength training, and once you've worked your way up to being able to slowly do a split, you'll eventually be able to simply drop into a split the way entertainers do in movies and martial arts competitions. Being able to drop into a split will take some time and work - most people need over a month of consistent training and stretching to be capable of dropping into a split. You will need to develop a consistent stretching and strength-training regimen before attempting to drop into a split.
summary: Know whether you're ready. Dress properly. Warm up. Do a stretching regimen. Work on the split gradually. Repeat the split routine as needed. Work up to doing a drop split.
