REDUCING EXERCISE

FOE FLABBY ARMS Arms that are fat and flabby need some severe treatment. Massage does the trick more effectively than anything else, and a little hard work in this direction will soon make an improvement. Begin with the upper part of the arm, place the opposite hand tightly round the arm and roll the flesh gently but deeply from side to side, moving down slowly from the upper arm to the wrist. Then, repeat, sliding the hand up to the shoulder again. To lubricate the massage and help on the good work, use a reducing cream.

Follow this form of massage with another—hold one arm out straight and strike it with the outer edge of the other hand all the way up from the wrist to shoulder—paying special attention to the plumpest parts. An exercise that is splendid for slimming plump arms is to hold them out straight and swing them rapidly from your shoulders in circles. For arms that are more flabby than fat, bathing in very cold water will help to make the flesh firmer.
