November 4, 1000 THE Bag-Punching Exercise Good for Women ‘By punching a rubber bag for ten minute a day for a week a womat an do more to reduce her weight and to preserve a firm figure than by observing a rigid diet for six months,”" says Miss Frances Namon, th woman athlete Miss Namon is an expert in boxing, fenc ing and all gymnastics for woman Her specialty is fancy bag-punching., She gives some cheering advice to the woman who dreads growing stout during the winter season of late dinner wud Tittle outdoor exercise, In summer, golf is the resource of the woman who fears embonpoint Whether she cares for the game or not she can tramg around over the links for an hour a day and keep her weight down to a comfortable figure. She can play t s amd row and climb mountains and winally dertve pleasure from solving the ever present problem of how to grow thi But with the coming of autumn the question reduce itself usually to a matter of hard work and a rigid diet Resualts of Faithy hing “Bag-punching is the i indoor exercise for women,"” says Miss Namon I'he object of all athletics is, of course, to ket the blood to circulating rapidly and well It is the proper action of the blood that clears the complexion, builds up tissue and makes the thin woman fat, or burns out unhealthy adipose tissues and makes the stout woman thin Plenty of good blood coursing fast through the veins is a remedy for nearly all physi Mls that are remediable “If a woman has a complexion like paste bag-punching will start the sluggish blood in motion and give her a skin the color of peaches and cream if anything will. When I began practice I had been an invalid with nervous dyspepsia for three years and now I have the appetite and the digestion of an ostrich, and not an ounce of flesh too much Bag-punching exercises every muscle in the body, and especially those that have a ten dency to take on fat It develops the chest and shoulders and neck and reduce the waist.” “It requires a teacher, Miss Namon? “Not at all, and there's a strong point in its favor for the average woman, Un like fencing it does not require an an tagonist. Ten dollars will buy a first-class light rubber punching bag with framework support, and a fairly good one can be had This is all the paraphernalia v, except a pair of lightweight-——say ounce and a quarter--boxing gloves, which will cost from 75 cents to $1 ixercise can be taken in evening dre costume, just as well as in the most date gymnasium attire, A for less money necess s or street up-to will womian rive just much benefit from the most awkward bag-punching as from the most scientific, The Work is th ", “With practice a puncher will learn to strike the ball with the regularity of a piston rod. To begin with she will merely play with it, and it will be a very enjoy able exercise, because a punching bag has some resistance to it.

Punch the bag twenty five times with the right arm swing, r a few moments and then try twenty-five e with the left hand Strike with the greatest regularity possible and if on is careful, as I say, the punches will soon fall with the regularity of a piston rod Then alternate one punch with the right and another with the left Mark Twain's ‘Punch, punch, punch with care’ about sums the matter up. Keep at it Don’t exercise an hour one day and then forget all about it for a week, al though I am a believer in the theory that even a little work is better than none Of course there are various fancy strokes that may be learned in time, as, for example, punching the bag with the right elbow, alternating with punches from the left fist or vice versa. Then a little mor difficult still is the elbow punch, with alternating upper arm and underarm thrusts with the fists Gradually the punches can be made faster and faster until the bag will beat a regular tattoo on the top of the framework overhead.” Dircctor of the Mint (Continued from Third Page.) including interest.
