A Switch on the Witch: Exercising with Broomsticks
For witches-in-training concerned about their figures, Jayne Mansfield offered some tips on how to exercise with a broomstick. From the Long Island Star-Journal, Nov. 3, 1961.
The exercises:
Unfortunately the article didn't include pics of Jayne exercising with her broomstick. So here's a few gratuitous shots of her in exercise-like poses. Just imagine the broomstick is there:
The exercises:
To slim your waistline: kneel on the floor and raise a broomstick high above your head with both hands, one on each end of the stick. Now, keeping your back straight, bend slowly to the right side until the end of the broom touches the floor; then alternate to the left side. Start with 25 and work up to 50.
To help improve your posture and eliminate protruding shoulder blades: kneel on the floor holding the broomstick high above your head. Now, bend your elbows as you slowly lower the broomstick down behind your back, gradually straightening your arms until the broomstick is even with your lower hips. Raise broomstick back to beginning position and repeat exercise 10 times, eventually working up to 25.

Jayne Mansfield was pretty, But her daughter with Mickey Hargitay is HOT! See MARISKA HARGITAY. 😉

She's worthy of being kicked out of bed, for sure, Tyrusgy, but she is getting a bit long in the tooth. No?

Is it just me, or does the second exercise not agree with how human joints work?

@ Expat Which one do you mean? Cause Ms. Hargitay is younger than me! Although I do think she looked better with shorter hair!

Imagining Jayne with a broomstick is definitely NSFW!
