I bought an original copy of this book back in 1975/1976 and did the program for years, on and off up until somewhere in the mid-'90s. Then, for some reason I discontinued it. Today I'm desperate to get back into better physical shape! And I know this book will help me with a minimal amount of effort on my part (30 minutes a week) that will naturally produce the maximum physical conditioning I need at this stage of my life.
You can't beat this exercise plan for those of us who need it -- quick and easy to learn, and with results you can see and feel. After the first week you will feel the difference, especially in the chest/shoulder and abdomen areas because of the "push-aways" and "sit-backs." If you're able to go through the whole program as described, you'll be in wonderful shape and feel it no matter what condition you started in.
I feel Dr. Laurence Morehouse was a fantastic, true physiologist who loved his work and who took the painstaking time to develop this program and put the information on paper in a form anyone can understand -- and thank you Leonard Gross for that, helping Dr. Morehouse get it on paper. Some people may find some minute details a little boring, but it's only because Dr. Morehouse was that thorough in his research and attention to detail.
So, in this little book we have the best information available today to teach us how to keep our bodies in the best shape we can. This is that "magic pill" we've all been looking for to care for our physical health with a minimum of effort and time. Dr. Morehouse and Leonard Gross have documented that for us. Thank you guys!
