With the worst part of the winter
behind us, we are all thinking about
liVrTlijf rhjttjes, But hefore-we get
around to the actual purchase of
our spring wardrobe, it is well to
t^ake a good long look gt ourselves
In the^mirror. ‘r---
The chances are that during the
we have l#t up on our regu-
taSiefc The weather was
not .^jfl(fuplvff to outdoor activity
and most o#^s, I am afraid, have
failed to keep up our dally doeen,
Indoors. Then, too, we seem to'
have bigger appetites In winter, due
to the cold weather, and we eat an
abundance of heavy foods. Many
of u.s added a good five pounds dur
ing the holidays from the rich hoH^
(hiv fare and have neglected to do
then from side to
our spring clothes with an air.
Improve Your P)ttUr«
The feminine figure shows the
first signs of neglect in one (or all)
of three"places: the hips, the abdo
men and the waist. The day of the
wasp-like waist Is gone, but a slim,
trim midriff is still In demand If
you Wfiiit'to Wear your Clothes to
advj^ntage. And, of course, nothing
detracts more from the line of a
dress or suit than a bulging tummy.
And this common feminine falling
is more the result of pdbr posture
and weak stomach muscles than of
surplus poundage. Slumping actu
ally adds several inches to the
waist, hips and ahdoroen.-^^ry iokk
Ing. yourself erect and notice the
dUTerence. Holding your stomach
,JUi strengthens the stomach muscles
and, If you keep It up long enough,
you will be rid of At that par
ticular defect.
ExerclMt Must Be Done Regularly
The hips, however, nre the big
gest problem. Nothing v***
them dawn but regular exercise and
diet. I suggest diet only If you ui'e
nit imiimd- tiTerwetght^B* -then- 4*^ -
nmst he ac'0iupanled by. exercise.
But many of ua have unnecessarily
well-pudded hips 'without being
g^i#ially heavy. Thia condltlon’le"
brought about by a lazy life and Is
remedied only by a well-established
routine of exercise. I am going" to
give you a couple of slmi>le exer«
cl.ses lo reduce the hips and, for
tunately, these same exercises, If
done regularly, will slim your waist
too.
(1) Lie on back and roll hips
from side to side, keeping the shoul
ders flat on the tloor. Start with ten
rolls a day and work gradually up
to fifty. ’ J
for
ward, trying to touch the toes. Then
side.
I have selected these two exer-
clses because they are simple, and
do the same work as the more com
plicated, and oftentimes confnsing,
ones. Nor will they leave you so
worn out that you will neglect the
ptoper care of your hair, ymir akl^i
and your general good gr» tnilng.
Remember that a few days, or even
a few weeks of exercise Is not
enough. You must keep It up regu
larly over a period* of time If you
hope to slip into spring with a slim
silhouette. '
