EXERCISE FOR ADULTS
G EO RG E J. F IS H E R . M. D.
HE history of man is thut he has always been accustomed to vigorous
bodily exercise. Consequently his muscles are numerous and large. About
half the body weight Is uiude up by Ibe rnucles. Thus they constitute a I urge
part of Ills being. Furthermore, in his development the muscles came flrst.
Heart, lungs, liver, nervous system, ail came later. They came as a result of
muscle contraction. When muscles w ire used In a greater variety of ways
then there wus need for richer blood, more elaborate digestion, and a nervous
system to control them. Half the brain In fact Is given over to the care of
tbe muscles. Thus we see that muscles are exceedingly Important orguns
They are related to all the o rg an s of the body. They are most closely con
nected with the nerves of the body and are very directly related to the
brain. Well-toned, active muscles un an a good heart, strong lungs, good
digestion, fine circulation, nervous control, aud mental vigor. Wheu the
muscles get flabby unit lose their tone the blood gets sluggish, the lungs lazy,
the nerves Jumpy, and the brain dull. You cannot neglect the lupscles without
feeling the results at many Important points.
Now unfortunately most of our work today does not make sufficient
demand upon our muscles. A great deal of It Is done sitting still or standing
still, and we were never made to si, ¡till or stand still. We were mude to
be physically active. Most of the big muscles are qulle closely related to the
legs. We should concern ourselves with leg activity. Walking, slow running,
leg bending, and body bending, aud iwlstlng from the hips sre necessary.
Note how quickly rupld walking or body bending affects our hreuthlng, the
heart rnte, and If more prolonged, the digestion. Most of our ailments
such ns indigestion, short wind, dullness of the head, are due to muscle

Some of us too orc In lines of work which tend to contract the chest,

the bodily orguns which are closely related to them. In such cases exercises

with the head up, shoulders high, chest raised, and back slightly arched; when
this Is done It helps to keep the body In the*« positions.
