The Rest Exercise for Fat Women.

William !. cromie, an instructor in
gymnastics in the University of Penn
sylvania. writes an article in the Oc-
tober Woman's Home Companion en-
titled Keeping Good Figure" in
which he SAYS:
''One of the best exercises for the
muscles of the abdomen. hack and
hips, and for keeping down fat in
these parts. is fast walking. II you
are not used TO walking. begin with
half mile and increase the distance
each week till you are walking an
hour each day High kicking is also
an effective exercise TO keep these
muscles strong and firm. Keep the
legs straight, the toes pointed, and
kick just as high as you possibly can.
Horseback riding. astride. is an ex-
cellent exercise. Various kinds Of
dancing. such as esthetic. folk, gym
nastic and social. not only develop
these groups of muscles. but impart
grace, agility and strength.
Many gymnastic exercises with ap-
paratus, such as vauiting over the
horse and horizontal bar, hanging
upon rings and swinging the legs for
ward, backward and sidewise, and
climbing up ropes. poles or Swedish
ladders. are beneficial.
Games like golf. tenpis. bowling,
basket ball, hand ball and volley ball
should be INDUCED In occasionally
The art OF swimming should be mas
tered also.
The best time to take the exercises
described here Is in the early morn
ing. as much clothing RESTRICTS free
dom of motion. For the average per-
son, ten to twenty times each should
be sufficient. If you become sore or
still, decrease the amount till you be-
come stronger.
