REDUCE THICK ANKLES
BY DAILY EXERCISING
Mias Huddleston Continuing the “Leg Beautiful’’ Series
Tells How Bulging Ankles Can Be Made Trim
and Graceful; and It’s So Easy Too!
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON
how’d you all get along with the first exercises of our series?
Pine iMope since today wTe’re going to take up the second part of the
routine That will promote more attractive appearing legs for any girl
who will devote fifteen minutes a day to the task. Surely that isn’t much
time to spend on such an important beauty feature.
We’re going to do some ankle reducing and limb-
ering up exercises today and I'm anxious that you
faithfully try these exercises because my profes-
sional reputation is at stake. I had a heated ar-
gument with some folks the other night who insist-
ed that I couldn't make thick ankles who insisted
that I couldn't make thick ankles graceful. I insist-
ed that I couldn't make thick ankles graceful. I in-
sisted I could simply by reducing them. And now it’s
ankles to stand by me and work hard You may
even have to convince your own husbands that it can
be done so let’s go!
Sit well back on a chair and extend your right
leg until it is on a horizontal line with the thigh.
Then pointing the toes outward rotate the foot ten
times to the left and ten times to the right keep-
JOSEPH1NE ing all of the action in the ankle and not bending
HUDDLESTON the knee. Repeat writh the left leg and ankle. Go j
through the routine five times.
Now place a block of wood or a book that is at least fifteen inches
long twelve inches wide and three inches thick on the floor. Keeping
the heels on the floor and about three inches apart rest the balls of the
feet securely on the edge of the block and rise slowly lower the
B. toes bun moving slowly lower the:
■<0 heels to the floor again. Repeat 10
h times. Now reverse the action by
<5. placing the heels on the forward
edge of the block and letting the
I balls of the feet rest on the floor
slowly raising the balls of the feet
A upw-ard until they are on a level
^ with the heels. Lower to the floor
y and repeat 10 times.
The last lap of this routine is a
F combination of the two movements
* explained above and is done in the
'• following manner. Place the ball of
* the left foot on the back edge of the
block and the heel of the right foot
*1 on the forward edge. Now drop the
^ left heel slowly to the floor while
‘e raising the right until the ball of
V \ the foot is even with the heel. Lower
the ball of the right foot to the floor
se while raising the left heel. Repeat
uifive times. Place the ball of the
I *‘d right foot on the back edge of the
block and the heel of the left foot
VI on the forward edge and continue
» the exercise until it has been done
» five times.
Finish off by going through the
rotating exercise described at the
{ beginning of the article and then by
. walking around the room for two or
three minutes walking on the balls
of the feet only.
If the ankles are extremely fat pat
a liberal amount of reducing lotion
on them several times each day. It
'is made by adding two cakes of fine-
I shaped camphor to one quart of
'inary rubbing alcohol. Let this
id for 24 hours before using
ire exercises to come so keep
so that at the end of the
serieWou’ll have a complete file!
