"3. wide / five minutes for health…" Once again we are in the kitchen-hall, we can recognise the front door, the washbasin, the stove. On the left there is a table with utensils and a bucket on the floor. In the centre there is a figure of a vigorously exercising young woman wearing a T-shirt, panties with lace on the legs, and tied shoes. She is caught in motion as she bends: with her left hand she reaches for her right foot. Sweeping movements of the torso and hands (in gymnastics this exercise is called a "windmill") make the whole kitchen whirl: the bowl and cups are falling from the stove, the keys hanging on the nail are swinging like a pendulum, the plates are falling off the table, and the pot with handles is spilling out water. The cat is running away.
