Show A Simple Beauty Exercise. A girl cannot begin too young to inflate her chest, drawing in long, full breaths of fresh ozone every morning, in a warm unbelted gown thrown over the nightdress, heels together, toes out, shoulders squared and head erect. Keep the mouth closed; inhale through the nose, filling the lungs thoroughly, allowing the breath to slowly go out from the mouth, says the Pilgrim. This is a magnificent chest developer. A splendid and all-around all-around way to strengthen the muscles is to stand erect, chest thrown out, with arms extended touch the toes with the tips of the fingers, bending the body only just below the waist line. Continue this movement, with hands extended over the head; then throw the body back as far as possible, possi-ble, sway first from one side to the other; after an exercise of fifteen minuter min-uter use each leg five minutes each, in regular gymnastics, throwing the foot out in front at the side and back. This will render the body absolutely supple, and contradictory as this may seem, put flesh and muscle on thin persons and also reduce embonpoint and give grace and sturdiness to flabby flab-by miscles. These exercises are spWn-did spWn-did hip and stomach reducers. |
