Coprright, 1917, by ‘The Prow Publishing Oo, (The New York Evoning World) ~ Reducing — Lesson IV. a ¥ A “Setting Up” Breathing Exercise. a5 exercise illustrated above is a simple one and easy for all readers to practice. Stand with the fect together, body slightly bent for- ward, arms extended and together, backs of the hands touching in | front of the body, as shown. Slowly bring the chin, arms and shoulders Up until the hands are resting on tho chest, as illustrated. Take a deep breath as the body comes upward. Tense the muscles until the shoulder Diades meet in the back and hold this position while you slowly and 4 mentally count five. Then exhalo gradually as you return to the starting ' position. Relax all of the muscles as the body is brought forward and i rest a second before proceeding. Practice this at least ten times by an open window, but not in a @raught. A fresh current of air should be stirring in the room during the exercise, and if the floor is cold warm slippers should be worn. No person who breathes !mproperly can hope to be well, because deep breathing is so necessary to all of the vital organs. It is also a deplorable fact that hardly one person in a hundred really knows how to breathe properly, and not more than two-thirds of the normal lung power is used during life. It is not possible to learn how to breathe through one or two simple breathing exercises practised with indifference once in a while, and an in- telligent study of the important breathing organs, the reasons for deep breathing, the benefits to bo derived from {t and the proper way to prac- dice it are all essential if best results are to be expected. | 4 First of all, learn to breathe through the nostrils day and night, even {f@ chin band has to be worn to prevent mouth breathing. : , * Lesson Talks and Answers to Queries.
