=FIRST EXERCISE:= Stand erect, drop hands to the side, clinch
your fists tightly, then with muscular tension raise fists and arms
slowly high above the head, taking a deep, full, abdominal breath
as you raise them, relax and expel the breath forcefully through the
mouth. Repeat 5 times.
=SECOND EXERCISE:= Place the left hand flat in the right, clasp
them, resisting with the left, lift with the right, putting full
strength into the effort, until the hands are lifted above the head,
taking deep breath as in the first exercise. Relax, expel breath.
Then repeat with the right hand resisting the left. Repeat exercise 5
times.
=THIRD EXERCISE:= Grasp the hands firmly above the head, letting
them be at rest on top of the head. Then pull hard from right to left
slowly, taking the deep, full abdominal breath with each movement,
relaxing and expelling as above. This and the above exercise are
wonderful in their effect in developing the lungs and rounding out the
development of the shoulders and chest. Repeat 5 times.
=FOURTH EXERCISE:= Grasp hands in front, level with chest, pull
from right to left hard, taking deep, full abdominal breath with each
movement. Relax and expel breath same as above.
=FIFTH EXERCISE:= Grasp the hands behind the back, taking deep,
full abdominal breath, lift the hands as far up on the back as
possible. Relax, expel breath. Always draw in the breath as you
move through the exercise, having a full breath when the movement is
completed, then expel.
=SIXTH EXERCISE:= Place right hand over right hip, clench the
left fist, raise it slowly, drawing the deep breath, and bending the
body to the right as far as possible. Relax, expel breath. Now repeat
with the left hand placed over the left hip. Repeat 5 times.
=SEVENTH EXERCISE:= Grasp hands in front of breast, pulling hard,
swing the body as far right and left as possible without moving the
feet, take deep breath with each movement. Repeat 5 times.
=EIGHTH EXERCISE:= Raise hands above the head, take a deep breath
and bend the body, try to touch floor with finger, not bending the
knees. Repeat 5 times.
You can add other exercises to these, only be sure they have the deep
breathing. These will build a vigorous, developed, supple body. Will
ward off every form of asthma, catarrh, bronchial or lung trouble.
Stop indigestion, increase circulation, renew and make blood.
Do all exercises in well ventilated room, have clothing loose. The
best time is on rising and on retiring. If they make you ache at first
it is sure evidence of their doing you good. You will soon be too
strong to have aches and pains.
Do not exhaust yourself in the exercises, just take them till the body
glows and the muscles are well exercised.
Faithfully persist in these exercises and breathings.
