his fitness approach.

In spite o f what quick sell artists
tell us, to ta l fitness cannot be
achieved with some magical appara
tus in five minutes a day. A bene
ficial program is one that includes
exercises for muscular strength, car-
dio-respiratory fitness, and flexibil
ity. Forty-five minutes to one hour
daily is ample time for an all-around
fitness program.
Sam exercises six days per week.
F le x ib ility movements are done
daily, weight training three or four
days per week, and he jogs or cycles
three or four days per week. A typi
cal week for him is as follows:
Monday: Stretching, weight train
ing (chest, arms and abdominals),
jog (3 to 5 miles).
Tuesday: Stretching, weight train
ing (Legs and abdominals).
Wednesday: Stretching, weight
training (back, shoulders, and ab
dominals), jog (3 miles).
Thursdav: (same as Monday)
Fndav: (same as Tuesday).
Saturday: (same as Wednesday)
Sunday: (o ff day)

Maintenance
He added (hat this is not a typical
work-out routine. Most people can
accomplish a high degree o f fitness
by working the entire body three or
four times per week, employing cir
cuit weight (raining, stretching, and
some form o f cardio-respiratory
training.
Two other very important compo
nents o f fitness are proper rest and
proper nutrition. Although he trains
six days per week, he never trains
the same body part two days in a
row, i.e ., M onday, chest/arm s,
Tuesday, legs.
Sometimes his cardio-respiratory
training must be done on successive
days. When this occurs, he has a
light w o rk-o u t (th irty minutes
cycling), followed by a heavy work
out (three to five miles jogging).
Proper rest is essential for the body
to recuperate from the stress o f
training.
Good nutrition is a must; the best
exercise program will be nullified by
poor n u tritio n a l habits. He is not
talking about diets, he is speaking of
a lifetime o f sound nutrition. Plenty
o f whole grain products, fresh fruits
and vegetables, p o u ltry and fish,
and the reduction or elimination o f
refined sugars, white flo u r, drugs,
and salt. He is also a firm believer in
vitamin supplementation.
His n u tritio n a l habits are en
forced by three circumstances:
(1) He is an excellent cook, being
a firefighter makes this a necessity.
(2) His w ife is healthy person
who always seeks the most n u tri
tional foods.
(3) His son is a N ational cham
pion w restler— he must m aintain
proper body weight w ith low fat
percentage the entire year. These
three factors make it easy for them
as a family to maintain sound nutri
tional habits.

viewing w ith pleasure the salad
maker, Carl Geddes, who I later dis
covered was the owner o f the estab

weight watcher who exclaimed that
he attributes his weight loss totalling
60 pounds to the following regimen:

Diet: Carl says he eats three nutri
tious, sound meals a day in proper
quantities. When he was over
weight, he often skipped meals and
then overate at dinner. He now
reads all he can on n u tritio n and
diet.
E xercising: Each day he does
about 35 minutes o f exercise, begin
ning w ith stretching warm-ups.
Then he does more active exercises
like sit-ups, push-ups and jumping
jacks in rapid succession. He is not
after big muscles, but good tone in
stead and a sound cardio-vasular
system.
A ctivity: Carl is an active person
and does things like parking in the
back o f the parking lot at the store
so he has to walk farther and runs
upstairs instead o f walking.

Staying healthy
My husband, who has been main
taining his weight since our m ar
riage. is a trim 34 waistline. He is a
silent "h e alth ist,” being extremely
careful not to overindulge. H ilton
prefers untampered foods and for
years, to the utter amazement o f his
co-workers, he has eaten a can o f
sardines fo r lunch. He favors all
types o f fish, shellfish, chicken pre
pared in its many forms and a very
lim ited amount o f beef. He has
completely eliminated salt from his
diet, as he used to have a heavy
hand with the salt shaker, has never
smoked and always walks I to 2
miles per day. To exercise his circu
latory system, he walks up 7 flights
o f stairs daily. He cites keeping busy
and on the move as part o f his f it
ness program as well as being able to
resist seconds o f food and pushing
the plate away. In addition, being in
the medical field makes him con
stantly aware o f what he puts in his
body. (And maybe a degree o f "c a l
ories” are burned from watching ac
tive sports on T .V .!) In a sense, he
has controlled our fam ily members
eating habits with a single "expres
sive scowl” relating to second help
ings. No matter how gruelling and
consistent our eating habits are, we
fa ith fu lly retreat to G ranny’ s for
that occasional dinner, that / never
cook .. th a n k fu lly so. I challenge
anyone to compete with her golden
sweet potato pie, bubbling peach
cobbler and perfection fried chick

The one that doesn't run at all will show the correct

only after it has lost 12 h o u rs -o r once every 12 days.
