These pre-heating exercises # 3 have similar effects on the parts of the body and on the organic systems, to those presented in the previous exercises # 1 and # 2 (Posts I.- PRE- HEATING EXERCISES: LEGS-BACK-WAIST and II.-PRE- HEATING EXERCISES: ARMS, HIP-WAIST-BACK-LEGS).
To some exercises, I have assigned a new identification number since they have slight modifications, and to others I have left the same number, precisely to relate them to the other 2 posts mentioned.

These and all the exercises we recommend should be based on the fundamental principle that they should be performed in a harmonious way with respect to the vertical axis or alternating the 2 respective symmetrical limbs (Post THE SYMMETRY OF THE BODY, ITS BALANCE AND WALKING).

They can be performed according to each person’s needs and physical condition. One only, two of them or several.
We must consider that each person can make some modifications to the exercises, according to their needs, their comfort and their unique way of adapting to them, in terms of duration, style and sequence; however, in generic terms, they should be performed as close as possible to what is specified, detailed and explained. Each individual has his or her own characteristics that guide him or her to perform the exercises in a very personal way, making it difficult for everyone to perform them in the same way, and it is practically impossible to put them into practice in an exact and identical manner.
To maintain a strong and healthy back, as well as the waist, hips and legs, the following exercises are recommended:
