Michelin Man (he always carries a spare) and Pills bury Dough Boy, until they threaten to become nicknames Once you have resigned yourself to getting back in shape " there remain the questions What's available7 What sport or program is best for me7 How can I get started7 According to Dr Frank Baynes, of the University Health Center, a good place to start is with books "There are several good books on conditioning you can buy at most of the local bookstores Baynes said depending on what you re looking for, you can probably find it in a number of books Using the books as a reference point Baynes That’s lO minutes of jogging you’re munching there_ Food Frtef cMctwn, % breat!
