Will you please tell me how ! can reduce
the hips? I would be very grateful for an
early answer. AMBITIOUS.
The following exercise will reduce the
hips in a very short time: Lie extended
on the floor. supporting yourself by
one hand while the other Is placed on
the hip. While holding this position
raise the body gradually from the floor
until the whole body is supported by
the hand and feet. 1t Is comparatively
easy to get the body from the floor, as
far as the knees, but to bring 1t up to
the full extent Is not easy at first. 1t
should be tried on one side and then on
the other.
