N exercise for strengthening the back, which {s a common point of A Weakness, 1s shown {n the Illustration with this lesson. This movement also stretches the muscles at thewldes of the waist and Denefits those of the arms, neck and shoulders. Stand with hands hanging loosely at sides, feet nearly together. Bring the arms out to the front and up over the head slowly and bend the body backward as far as possible without strain, Inhale deeply as you raise the arms. Hold this beckward position and the breath for a fow seconds. Then lower arms, bring body up to starting position and exhale, Repeat this ten times at each practice, So many women complain of weakness {n the back and many cannot @o without a corset for a half hour at a time without severo pains from the shoulders to the base of the spine. The reason for this is that the Muscles in those parts have become almost entirely useless because the Ddack has had the*false support from the corset for many years, which makes the muscles in this region wholly incapable of performing tho functions for which they were intended by nature. I havo repeatedly told readorg that any unused muscles will shrink ami deteriorate and in time become entirely useless to the body. Lesson Talks and Answers to Queries.
