you have a household to care for you may not be able to do so.
For those who have to do their own work, it may be well to do the work
first. You can do it in half the time if you plan it carefully and speed
up. (This advice is not for my thin friends; their speedometers register
too high already.) It does not matter so much when the exercises are
done as that they are done, and done every day for the rest of your
life, with the possible exception of two or three days a month.

Gallstones, permanent stiff joints, and other little things like that
will have a hard time forming.

_My Exercises_

[Sidenote: _They Reach Most of My Muscles_]

(The services of my noted artist I was able to obtain with great
difficulty, as he was engaged in the more important work of making a
swagger stick. I finally secured him by the promise of an ice cream cone
and twenty-three cents to go with his two cents so that he could buy a
Thrift Stamp. He is given due credit on the title page.)

These exercises executed with vim, vigor, and vip--deep breathing
between each set--will take ten to fifteen minutes. Re-read my warning.

[Sidenote: _Little Movements with Meanings All Their Own_]

1. Feet together, arms outstretched, palms up, describe as large a
circle as possible. Fine for round shoulders and fat backs. Do slowly
and stretch fifteen times. Smile.

2. Arms outstretched, swing to right and to left as far as possible at
least 15 times each.

Artist's Idea_]

3. Bend sideways, to right and left, alternately, as far as possible at
least 15 times each.

4. Revolve the body upon the hips from right to left at least 10 times,
and left to right the same.

5. Bend and touch the floor with your fingers, without bending your
knees, at least 15 times.

6. Knee-bending exercise, at least 15 times. This is hard at first.

7. Hand on door or wall, swing each leg back and forth at least 15
times. To the side 15 times. Turn head, raise arm, and tense both.

8. Step on chair with each foot at least 10 times. This is good for calf
and thigh muscles. After a while you won't look as though you needed a
derrick to get onto a street car.

9. Arms on sides of chair. Come down and touch abdomen. Fine for back
and abdomen. Fifteen times.
