Keeping Fit All the Way

CHAPTER XI
8/9

The head should be kept up, with the elbows back and the eyes looking to the front.
HEALTH MAXIMS Vacillation and doubt are poison to the nerves.
Fear is the forerunner of illness.
"Eyes in the boat" is as good a maxim at drill as in a shell.
When drinking a glass of water stand erect and take a full breath first; then drink with chest out and hips back and head up.

[Illustration: FIG.

6 A .-- FORWARD POSITION OF GRASP] Nature never punished a man for getting his legs tired.

She has punished many for getting their nerves exhausted.

See how high you can hold your head and deeply you can breathe whenever you are out of doors.
Six to eight glasses of water a day, none with meals, will make you free of doctors.
FOOTNOTES: [Footnote 2: On the "Cross" position, the arms should be straight out horizontally from the body, with the elbows locked.

At the same time every resistance should be placed against the head and neck coming forward at all.
