The exercises I am giving you are
all excellent to reduce the abdomen.
TO REDUCE THE ABDOMEN.
Lie fat on your back and slowly raise
both legs to perpendicular position; then
lower them slowly 10 the floor. This
will make your abdomen small and
firm. Do not repeat this exercise many
times in succession, as too many repe-
tiuons might strain the back
Alternate IL with the following. which
Is also strengthening to the muscles of
the abdomen: Lie fat, and. keeping the
heels on the floor, rise to a sitting posi-
ton, with the arms crossed over the
chest; or If this is too difficult begin
by tossing the arms forward to give
the bOGy an impetus. When it be-
comes easily performed in both Of
these arm positions. increase its pull
by cfasping the hands at the back Of
the neck. thus coming to sitting po-
sitiOn. This sitting position should
always be erect.
In standing position clasp the hands
over the abdomen. Contract the mus
cles of the abdomen and bend at the
hips six times, keeping the muscles
well contracted Throughout the bend
ing. Rest by taking three deep oreatns
between each exercise.
