Exercise

Presented by Marie Joyce L. Ferrer


What are Wands?
Wands are made of hard wood or rattan about 36 to
39 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. To add
more attraction and interest in the movements, the
wand should be painted with different colors.
Exercises with the wand are excellent for their
flexibility value especially in the arms and the
shoulder girdle according to (Diñoso, 1990)
