The weights should be fairly light at first, beginning with perhaps two and one-half pounds, and gradually increasing until five pounds are used. The weights should only be increased with the increase of the strength of the individual. All the movements should be performed consecutively from ten to twenty times each; then proceed to the next movement. In taking any heavy exercise great care must be used not to overfatigue the muscles, or more harm than good will be done. As soon as the muscles have become too tired to perform any exercise vigorously, it should be discontinued, and a rest of a few minutes taken, when the exercise may be resumed. When a point is reached at which the muscles feel tired at the commencement of the exercise stop at once for the day. =Chest Weight Exercises for Arms and Shoulders= (Figs. 61, 62).—_First Position._—Face the chest weights, grasp the handles firmly, and hold the arms straight out in front of the chest.
