Now let's take the thing calmly and sec where we got.

-Proper walking has a direct and immediate effect on the ankles. You may feel a little self-conscious at first if you decide to perfect your walking, but just as you

Incidentally, whatever you do to improve your ankles will have direct effect on calves, too. Stretching Exercises

Further, use your instep and toes as much as possible. Get into the habit of stretching your Instep at every opportunity, when you are taking a single step forward, when you are getting on and off buses, or during any other suitable movement. Walk and stond on your toes when- ever you can au when going upstairs and down, while cleaning windows, and so on. It all helps to distribute the muscles of the whole leg in the most desirable way.

And here is an excellent exercise. for improving the ankles. Strefch the leg out. Point the toes as far forward as possible. Then, keeping the leg and ankle motionless, move the foot up, side, down, and up again In a perfect circle and stretching it as much as possible. Do this to ench foot for about exercise, not only for the ankles, but for the whole leg.

Rising and sinking on the toes is also good for ankles, as is also any form of exercise like skipping and running, where you have to rise on the toes. Kneading and pressing the ankles firmly with the fingers is another ald to slimness.

For Supple Wrists

Arms

And now for the wrists. One of the best exercises for keeping the wrists supple and slim is flapping of the hands. Lift both

up to about on a level with your chest, and with your elbows bent. Keep- ing the wrists and the rest of the arms as stiff as possible, flap the handa alone up and down very vigorously and loosely. Do this until you begin to tire, then rest and con- tinue.

Rolating the hand, without moving the wrist and arm, is another good exercise. Gripping each wrist very hard with the hand of the other then pressing, also helps to make the shape slim.
