The tip-toe exercise makes the feet and ankles
supple and corrects an awkwardness of gait that
some women possess. Try it, taking deep inhala
ton before your open window in the morning.
TO STRENGTHEN THE WAIST MUSCLES
Many women, complain of that tense, tired
feeling about the waist. Various causes
may contribute to this condition. Women
accustomed to sit or stand all day are the
ones likely to be so affected Too much in
door living and lack of vigorous exercise will
also do it. When the corsets are too tight
and not enough freedom given to the muscles,
similar condition arises.
| This weakness of the muscles is disastrous in.
ternally, the pelvic organs, the kidneys, liver
and bowels all suffer in consequence.
A simple exercise to strengthen and develop
the muscles is pictured in the third sketch.
Stand with feet close together, bend the body
slowly forward without bending the knees, al
lowing the arms to hang loosely at the sides.
After lowering the body far possible, raise
it few inches, then bend forward again Try
this exercise five times, then maintain correct
standing position.
Remember to breathe deeply as you take these
exercises nhaling at the start and exhaling as
you finish. ADRlENNE.
