At these night sessions the

while discussing and formulat-
ing the world strategy If the

Exercise Increases Energy
While Improving Figure
By IDA JEAN KAHN

You are asking for sure-fre
exercise 70 trim the waistline,
hatten the midriif and slim off
the hips-in a hurry. Further
more. You want 10 know lust
how long il VIII take to fix your
figure!
All right, here's a promise
with Is minutes Of callSthenics
every DAY, YOU can slim good
half inch of your waist IN a
week and take a half inch off
the hips IN two weeks and tone
the muscles Of the abdominal
Cirdle,
But the fact that exercise will
give YOU a beautiful figure isn't
as important today as the fitness
part OF IT. You will feel so fit!
Exercise tones you up as II trims
YOU down. and the result is
steadier nerves and more energy.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-05-06
Start Essily

But a word of warning-start
easily. You need five days 10
break into exercise. Begin with
FIVE minutes of easy caliStheniCS,
and gradually work up TO Is TO
20 minutes OF vigorous exercise.
The exact movements that
will pare inches off the waist
line are upward stretching, waist
twisting and side bending. With
any of these movements the
twist and bend must be centered
smack at the waistline, other
wise it's waste motion as far as
SHINING goes. It's a good plan
10 anchor the hips as you twist
and bend. as in this exercise:
Position-Sitting on floor, legs
stretched wide apart. arms out
az sides shoulder level. Stretch
slim through the middle, keep
shoulders relaxed.
Movement-Twist sharply at
the waist and touch fingers Of
right hand to eHtstFetehed left
toes. Six times as starter If
YOU are on fairly friendly terms
with exercise, three times if you
are rusty. Later work up 10 II
counts, then %, and finally so.
The Next Step
After you have limbered up
your waist muscles. progress by
stretching both arms overhead,
hands clasped. Now, pulling slim
through the middle Of the figure,
bend acutely sidewalks and touch
both hands TO outstretched toes.
That really pulls you out!
Here is the best exercise I
know for toning the stomach
muscles:
Position-Lying fiat on back
on floor, legs straight down, feet
anchored under a heavy piece Of
furniture, arms outstretched on
floor overhead.
Movements-With a heave-ho,
come up to a sitting position,
then bend forward TO touch fin,
gers to toes. Three times will
be plenty the first day. Each day
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-05-06

increase this exercise by two
more counts up 10 20.
Now the hipS-The most effec-
tive exercise is leg swinging,
either from a lying down posi-
ton or from the standing posi-
ton. If you stand at your work,
take the swings lying on your
side. and swing the top leg up
in front and up and out behind.
Start with 10 counts, increase to
20, later TO 100, changing sides
between each 20 counts.
