Exercises With the Medicine Ball (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Exercises With the Medicine Ball

Of the movements are play movements. Throwing a ball is an act common to most games, and in addition many interesting games can be played with the medicine ball. It is truly well named, for a merry heart doeth good like a medicine, and the use Of the medicine ball surely maketh merry.

Its use is also hygienic. Many body bending and twist ing exercises are indulged in when using-the medicine ball. It calls into activity the large muscles of the ab domen and back and stimulates respiration and Circula tion. The exercises are vigorous and yet without undue strain and thus in a very Short space of time Splendid stimulating effects can be secured.

Plav, sport, exercise will do much to keep the mind clear, the figure young, the step elastic. There is no single apparatus in the gymnasium that is SO completely adapted to meet the needs of business men as the Medi cine Ball. Its intelligent use will keep the eye alert, and the body vigorous.

Such a compilation Of exercises as Mr. Cromie presents in this volume will be received with appreciation.
