Physical fitness can neither be acquired by wishful thinking nor by outright purchase.

You will feel better in ten sessions, look better in twenty sessions, and have a completely new body in thirty sessions.

Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. Our interpretation of physical fitness is the attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind fully capable of naturally, easily, and satisfactorily performing our many and varied daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure.

By all means never fail to get all the sunshine and fresh air you can.

It’s the mind itself which shapes the body.

Never slouch as doing so compresses the lungs, overcrowds other vital organs, rounds the back, and throws you off balance.

The lungs cannot be completely deflated at first without considerable effort. With perseverance, however, the desired results can be accomplished and with increasing power, gradually and progressively develop the lungs to their maximum capacity.
