To Make the Exercise of Walking Healthful, and therefore the more Enjoyable, these Rules should be Observed. 1st. Carry the body erect on the hips, the shoulders thrown back, the chest raised, and the head square on the shoulders. 2d. Breathe through the nose while walking rapidly, otherwise the mouth will become dry and the breath short. 3d. Wear loosely fitting clothes that will permit a free motion of the limbs, and shoes with broad, moderately thick, soles and low, broad heels. In all cases a girl’s skirts should be supported from the shoulders, and in walking any distance it is absolutely necessary for comfort that there should be no weight upon the hips. |
