Do all exercises in well ventilated room, have clothing loose. The
best time is on rising and on retiring. If they make you ache at first
it is sure evidence of their doing you good. You will soon be too

Do not exhaust yourself in the exercises, just take them till the body
glows and the muscles are well exercised.
Faithfully persist in these exercises and breathings.
