    FEATURE - Blick zurück: Fitness-Training zuhause in den 1950er Jahren
    Original 1950s caption:
    Fitness in the home .

    Life is hard for the modern office girl . Up early in the morning , she rushes breakfast , rushes to catch a bus or train into town . She sits at a desk all day long then rushes home again in the evening ,. But she has no time for exercise . While she has been growing tired in the office , she has also , all too often , been growing tubby . The answer is , of-course , exercise . In these pictures , pretty eighteen-years-old Julie Martin , London actress, singer and dancer demonstrates her method of keeping her figure trim .

    PICTURE SHOWS:- For the calves, the arms and the neck , Julie uses a compound exercise which consists of lifts on the toes combined with deep backward bends while her head rotates steadily anti - clockwise .
