RECULAR EXERCISES
Tbcre arc scveral dctails of this exercisc which arc important. Somc pupili make the mistake of trying co lift the beli to the chcst by pulling it up in a straight linę, poiming the elbows out-wards aa they do so. That is a mistake; the clbow* should be kept by the waist. and the beli should be raiscd from hips to chcst in a ftcmi-circular movcmcnt. with the elbows as the center of the drcle.

In lowering the beli don't let it go down rapidly, but lowcr it slowly, bccause this lowering motion will dcvelop the musdes almost as much as the upward motion.
