Sitting can add to the hip

Exercise is the only satisfac-
tory method of altering measure

tie down the hips. Any girl with
normal weight and large hips
needs corrective exercise, for fig

For contour control below the

receive exercise. Contracting the
gluteal muscles of the buttockS
while climbing stairs, walking and
standing is so much exercise to
the good.
It is impossible to contract the
glutealS without at the same time
forcibly contracting the abdomi-
mails, another good figure habit.
In fact, one of the best things you
can do for your figure is to pull
up continually with the lower alb

hold the tummy in constantly,
but you can trim these muscles to
a flat line by making a practice
of pulling up with the lower alb
