Pathex Motion Pictures 23 LEARN TO EXERCISE AT HOME jg||SnR. C. WARD CRAMPTON, former Physical iJl^lP Director of the New York Public Schools, rf^y^! has prepared for Pathex Motion Pictures a series of exercises for the layman, based on his book, "Physical Exercises for Daily Use." Under the general title, "Keep Fit," these hometraining lessons have been divided into five different features, each demonstrating a definite form of health giving "stunt" and the whole calculated to be of inestimable value to the business man who is unable to give the time to the gymnasium, links, tennis court or riding path. Observe the exercises in the Pathex film, and then practice them at home to better your physical condition. "Stretch and Keep Well" No. E 14 One Reel $1.75 First of the series of exercises by Dr. C. Ward Crampton demonstrating the value of stretching before getting out of bed in the morning, with experiments showing the difference in heart action between the sleeping person and the one after waking and stretching. "Pump and Kick-Up" No. E 15 One Reel $1.75 Second of the series by Dr. Crampton, illustrating the health-giving property of deep breathing — "pumping" — an exercise closely related to the "posture-dancing" of Ancient Egypt, and the "Kick-up" something like the leg movement in Greek dancing. "Churn and Tickle Toe" No. E 16 One Reel $1.75 Watching this reel is far superior to the daily dozen by phonograph or radio for it shows you exactly what to do. In this lesson, Dr. Crampton demonstrates the exercises to remove that budding paunch — easy, simple forms that bring real results. "Pep Steps" No. E 17 One Reel $1.75 More of Dr. Crampton's exercises which make the daily exercises real fun, and yet accomplish splendid results in keeping you fit. "Fresh Air and Pep" No. E 18 One Reel $1.75 Useful exercises with which to start the day. Just think of it! Dr. Crampton again shows some splendid movements that are easy, sane and result-obtaining.
