According to Bailey, many people are overly fat even though they weigh what the “proper charts” say they should. Without exercise, the body stores fat inside muscles where it isn't externally visible. And since fat weighs less than muscle, no weight may be noticed as fat replaces muscle, Bailey said. "But you put them in a water tank to test body fat, and they float like corks." The water-tank test, designed by Bailey, involves immersing a person in a dunk tank for eight seconds to determine the percentage of body fat The ideal amount of body fat for a fit person is 15 percent for a man and 22 percent for a woman. However, Bailey estimates that the average man is 24 percent fat and the average woman 33 percent. But having an average percentage of body fat doesn’t mean you don’t have a fat problem, Bailey said. "It just means you’re average sick.” To be truly fit, people must lose the fat inside the muscles as well visible fat, Bailey said. Other wise, they'll continue on the never-ending cycle of loss and gain — “the rhythm method of girth control.” The only way to lose fat permanently is to replace fat with protein through exercise, Bailey said. And the best exercise is aerobic exercise, which burns both the sugars and fats in the body for “complete combustion." "If you want to be a better butter burner, do aerobic exercise,” Bailey said. Some aerobic exercises Bailey recommend ed are jogging, bicycling, walking, cross-country skiing, roller skating and aerobic dancing. Along with 20 minutes of daily aerobic exercise, Bailey says the “fat guy" should: — Not skip meals. — Not eat sugars. — Not eat fat. — Eat more roughage such as fibers and whole grains. Bailey also advises against fasting. "Fasting cleanses your body of all its mu scle." And don’t fool yourself by eating honey, thinking its all right because it’s a natural sugar. “Poison oak is natural too,” Bailey said. Bailey emphasized keeping active as one of the important parts of keeping fit. “If you don’t use it, you lose it.” rjum Cultural Forum Presents SUNDAY, MAY 17,1981 18th and AGATE SOCCER FIELD NOON-SUNSET \ <MUSIC FEST DESTINY AWAITS YOU A DAY OF FROLICKING AND MUSIC OUTDOORS • U P E P O • • THE BILL FELDMANN BAND* • K U K R U D U • • LON GUITARSKY • $3.50/ U of O Students $4*50/ General Public GATES OPEN AT il:J0 TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE EMU MAIN DESK, TOAD HALL HI-FI, BREMEN TOWN RECORDS (VALLEY RIVER) ORDER TICKETS BY PHONE 686-4363 NO BOTTLES OR CANS • NO PETS • RAIN OR SHINE In the unlikely event of torrential rains, the Music Fest would be held in the EMU Ballroom.
