RADIO MIRROR to twist the upper portion of your body almost entirely about. Exercise No. 2: Now comes the chair. Grasp the back of it firmly, as shown in the accompanying illustration. _ Then slowly lower the body to a squatting position, trunk erect and head back. Rise slowly on tip-toe. Repeat six times, gradually increasing to twenty times as the exercises progress. Exercise No. 3: Support the weight of the body by grasping the arms of the chair firmly. The feet must be just far enough from the chair so that a diagonal line might be drawn from heels to head. Rising on tip-toe, raise the right leg briskly, bending the knee as shown in the illustration, as high as possible, with the toe pointing downward. Alternate with left leg. Repeat six times, increasing gradually to twenty times. Exercise No. 4: Sit in the chair. Place the arms over the chair arms. Kick vigorously up and out first with right, then with left leg. Exercise No. 5: Rest arms on back of chair. Stand at arms length away. Kick back as high as possible first with" left leg then with right leg. Keep head up and forward. The kick must come from the hip, as shown in the illustration, for this exercise is designed to reduce and make firm the hips. Exercise 6: Lie across the arms of the chair. Keeping the head well up, execute the motions of swimming, as illustrated. Kick with left leg when stroking with right arm, and vice-versa. EXERCISE No. 7: Again we dispense with the chair. Stretch arms horizontally at shoulder level. Twisting the trunk, touch the right great toe with the left arm, raising the left leg as the body bends. Perhaps at first you will not be able to touch the toe, and you may have trouble in maintaining your equilibrium. Do not be discouraged, however, for that merely indicates you need the exercise especially. And you will be delighted to see your hip line fade. But wait. We're not through with seven yet. Stand erect once more. Repeat the exercise with the other hand and foot. Try it four times to each side for the first week, then increase gradually to ten times each. Exercise No. 8: Sit in a low backed chair and drop the head as far to the rear as you are able. Then chew on a piece of gum for about three minutes vigorously. A. month of this exercise (which should be taken at night as well as with your regular setting-up in the morning) will eradicate the most stubborn set of double, triple, or what have you? chins. I found it invaluable as preparation for picture work, where the camera is so cruel to the slightest irregularity of line. So much for the exercises. The only other form in which I find time to indulge regularly is walking. Wherever and whenever possible, I walk. If time permits, I choose stairs rather than an elevator on my round of business appointments. With a little thought you can crowd a surprising amount of exercise into a busy day without disrupting your schedule, and after you've been at it for a while you'll feel a lot less worn out at night, too. Now for the diet. After my morning exercises, of course, I take a shower, which is important in prevention of colds. Then to breakfast. Here is a week's menu. As I said before, the whole idea of my own plan was based upon common sense, and yours should be too. You can substitute and vary to your taste or needs if you merely keep that in mind. I am giving you my own, however, from which to work. Discovered! A tasty nourishing dish Ordinary "economy dishes" often make dull eating. But not FrancoAmerican Spaghetti.
