EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the roaring twenties with these timeless exercises designed to keep ladies neat, trim, and full of vitality. This vintage photograph from 1927 showcases two essential movements from the era's popular exercise regime: the Scissors and the Pendulum. The Scissors exercise, depicted on the left, involves lying on your back with legs extended and arms behind your head. Alternate lifting and lowering each leg, as if you're opening and closing a pair of scissors, while keeping your core engaged to ensure a thorough abdominal workout. This exercise was believed to help tone the waistline and improve flexibility. On the right, the Pendulum exercise requires standing with feet hip-width apart and holding a light weight, such as a dumbbell, in each hand. Swing each arm forward and backward in a controlled motion, allowing it to pendulum back and forth, engaging the muscles in your back, arms, and core. This exercise was believed to improve posture, balance, and overall body strength. These exercises, along with a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle, were essential components of the 1920s fitness movement for women. Embrace the spirit of the era and commit to maintaining a fit and healthy figure by incorporating these classic exercises into your daily routine.
