muscled body through a process he called Dynamic Tension. Charles Atlas was what he called himself. It seemed he developed a system of muscleâ€"building and physical fitness that proved to be extremely effective and now goes under the name of Isometrics. All muscle tone and development is achieved by alternately tensing and relaxing and Isometrics is a method of doing so without movement. By exercising one set of muscles against another, or against your body weight, their tone and strength can be improved without leaving your chair, or bed, and they work like a charm. sand over our skinny friend and his girl. Courageously, our hero would remonstrate with the heâ€"man and promptly be knocked down flat. He was a 97â€"pound weakling, and said so. Then, taking the muscleâ€"building course, he soon had a Tarzanâ€"like body and, going back to the same beach, he found the same bully and The ad must have pulled beautifully because because it ran for years. I understand the man behind the business had really been a 97â€"pound weakling and developed a magnificently Each exercise taked only six seconds, so they should be done often. For example, for the arms and shoulders, while sitting at yor desk, grasp the arms of yor chair and press down as if you were going to lift yourself out of the chair, without actually doing so, and relax after each attempt at oneâ€"second intervals. For sedentary people, all the leg muscles, from buttocks to ankles, can be tensed and relaxed at oneâ€"second intervals. This will also improve the circulation, if sitting for long periods. For the shoulders, biceps and triceps, clasp the hands in front of your chin and push and pull them as hard as you can with the same timing. 4 a Without spending a penny on cumbersome: machines, nor having to don a sweatsuit, these exercises are so simple that you can devise ways of pitting muscles against each other. Some muscles don‘t have to be opposed. You can tense and relax your stomach muscles while simultaneously clenching your fists in rhythm, thus taking care of the hands and forearms at the same As your muscles develop, the more pressure or tension you exert on each exercise. The important thing is to do them often. And don‘t forget the face and neck muscles. You can improve your appearance immensely by giving them a good workout before the bathroom mirror, where you can grimace to your heart‘s content. Facelifts are for those who let gravity take over; fight it with exercise. Isometrics are especially advantageous for the elderly, even if bedridden, because it is impossible to strain yourself and you can improve upon whatever level of strength you happen to Just because you have no desire to participate in sports, be a wrestler or weightlifter, is no excuse to give up on the ever present battle against flab, which is simply a matter of using all your muscles systematically and often. You‘ll be pleasantly surprised at the difference in the way you look and feel. Geoff Fellows operates the Human Resources Development Instituig, P.O.

Through a weekâ€"long, summer day camp program and a oneâ€"day, inâ€"school program, the UW students are encouraging children in Grades 5 through 8 to "explore new horizons in engineering and science". Both facets of the program are very "handsâ€"on", giving the children a chance to "do and see", says Sarah Boudreau, one of the program‘s coâ€"ordinators. what a physicist does, or that there are different types of engineers. So we‘re just going out there to give them more knowledge about science and engineering so they‘re not scared of the (subjects) when they get into high school." Elementary school students take part part in any of five workshops developed by he UW students. One deals with "Crime and Chemistry", which offers the students a look at forensic science. Another looks at ground water supplies and how they can become polluted. "Rocks and Minerals" helping young people in the Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo area to discover the wonders and excitement of . Through the inâ€"school, or classroom, program, the UW students have been aking workshops into schools throughout the region for the past six weeks. The group visits two schools a day, holding workshops in two classrooms at each school. "The reason for going into classrooms is to bring about students‘ awareness of what science is and what engineering is," Boudreau says. ‘"They don‘t know things like what a chemist really does, or high school, may shy away from the world of science because it appears complex and confusing. _ But a group of University of Waterloo students is lets students test the properties of various minerals, Deborah Crandall Chronicle Staff _ Some school children, especially those nearing Science quest offered to students entering Grades 7 and 8.

"They learn more through handsâ€"on activities â€" they have fun with it and get more interested in it, The best time to get kids interested in this is when they‘re in elementary school, because, when they get into high school, many of them shy away from Grade 9 and 10 science." The summer day camp program, the first seasion of which begins June 29, offers young people the same type of activities. But instead of participating for one day or halfâ€"day in a classroom, the students have a full week to explore science and engineering.
