_Doing this exercise five times will take about half a minute. If counting every time when commencing to stroke each arm, it will be ten counts._ NOTE I. When the upper side of one of the arms has been massaged to the base of the neck, it is not absolutely necessary to let the hand go back over the arm, as described, in order to massage it underneath. The hand can simply be taken away from the neck and the outstretched arm grasped underneath the wrist without touching its upper side. However, it is best performed in the way first described, but let the hands return, barely touching the arm. _Analysis and Effects of the Combined Massage Exercise No. 2_ This exercise is combined in such a way that there is obtained the movements of the arms together with their massage and that of the shoulders, the sides of the upper body, the outer sides of the upper back, and the lower chest. The arms and shoulders are here exercised to a greater extent than in exercise No. 1. Thus, for instance, if the left arm is being stroked upward with the right hand, the muscles of the right hand are not only exercised, but likewise those of the left arm and shoulder, the latter are especially put into play because the left arm is resisting the pressure of the right hand upon it. The left arm furthermore is massaged at the same time. The reverse is of course the case when the right arm is massaged. The movements of the arms and hands, in applying the massage movements, exercise the muscles and nerves of the hands, the arms, the shoulders, the upper back, the sides, and the lower chest. The massage influences the muscles, nerves, blood and lymph vessels of the arms, the shoulders, the sides and the lower chest. It also stimulates the action of the liver and strengthens that of the heart. This exercise is especially beneficial for stiffness in arms and shoulders caused by playing baseball, golf, hockey or from other over-exertion. It will reduce fat shoulders and arms and build up thin ones. THE COMBINED MASSAGE EXERCISE No. 3 Massaging each leg alternately with both hands simultaneously from ankle upward over leg and hip, continuing from there with one hand above the other and parallel to each other, directly across the abdomen, one hand moving underneath the ribs, over the transverse colon and the stomach and the other hand over the lower abdomen and pelvis; at the same time lifting and stretching the legs and bending the trunk forward and backward. _Detailed Description_ _Position._—Standing erect with feet parallel and about four inches apart.
