When I get out of bed I throw wide the window and breathe deeply for five minutes.

Then I stretch for 10 minutes in simple exercises." Here are her daily exercises: (1) Arms over head, bend to right and then left as far as possible. (2) Bend backward as far as the spine will allow. (3) Bring right foot up straight, keeping left leg vertical, and touch instep with left hand; reverse this movement. (4) Bring knee to chest and hug it tightly, bending upper torso silghtly." (5) Bring leg up in back, grasping right ankle with left hand, and vice versa. (6) Slide left leg out to side, keeping it straight, at same time swing right arm over head, keeping left arm almost flush with extended leg.

Opposite leg is bent at knee. Repeat in reverse. (7) Stretch up as far as possible several times, clasping hands over head. There it is, gals Rosario's anti-tummy formula. press agent.
