Nerves and Common Sense

CHAPTER X
6/11

If you sit down after exercise you want to sit without tension.

Or if you walk home from gymnasium you want to walk loosely and freely, keeping your chest up and a little in advance, and pushing with the ball of your back foot with a good, rhythmic balance.
