EXERCISE MADE EASY
At last science has done something
helpful about al this exercising
business.
It has provided q way for q pers-
on to get all the exercise he needs
without getting out Of bed mornings.
This is the greatest need Of man
kind. Daily exercise has always lost
considerable appeal because Of the
fact you had to get UP to get IL.
BY means OF this new invention.
| which flashes electric currents
through the muscles Of q PROSTATE
| subject, q person may stay abed
and get all the benefits OF a gymna-
stun or outdoor workout. This Is
something We have all dreamed OF.
The trouble with morning exercise,
for instance. has been that 1t re-
Quired physical effort.
You had to get out Of bed. Often
you had to walk clear across q room
to the exercising machine or dump
bells. In some cases you v e had 70
hike to another room fifteen or
twerfy feet away for It. It required
resolution and strength of character
It has long been recognized that
physical culture could never be put
across with Americans in a big way
SO long as people had to exert them
selves to get it. There are too many
mental obstacles.
Suppose you really feel the need
Of exercise. AS soon as your eyes
| are open in the morning you first
must concentrate on the idea. This
Is so abhorrent TO the average man
that he Immediately turns owe and
goes to sleep again.
But II he Is a little more resolute
and plays with the idea Of getting
/, do Is to think, "Well, exercise Is a
good thing. / approve Of It. The
| question Is. when?" And before he
has reasoned that out to his salts
faction he has fallen asleep again.
The attitude Of he average man
toward morning exercise has been.
IF ! had a medicine ball / would
put in a strenuous half hour with
a medicine ball and a pair OF dumb
bells. If I had a pair Of dumb-bells.'
This explains why SO many men
have a SURPLUS Of chins and are
troubled by shortness OF breath ever
when they open their mail. But nov
all will be different. With the new
incention announced by scientists
as successfully tested. you a get
all the exercise you need without the
slightest effort.
You Just stay abed and press the
button.
Or. better yet. ring for the butler
to press a button.
