 EXPLANATION
Some years ago I issued a small illustrated leaflet
entitled "Ten Minutes' Exercise for Busy Men." These
exercises were aimed to secure health, not at any particular
form of muscular development or skill. They aimed to
affect a man in his most important parts, that is, his
digestion, his circulation and his respiration.
If a man gets plenty of good food, and his digestive
apparatus works it up into good rich blood; if the heart is
strong and regular so that this good blood goes to all
parts of the body with vigor and regularity, and if the
respiratory and excretory apparatus is in such good order
that this blood is kept pure, the fundamental conditions
of health are laid.
It is not so important to have big muscles as it is to
have good digestion; it is not so important to have
])Owerful muscles as it is to have a strong, regular heart
it is not so important to have great skill with one 's
muscles as to have good lungs and kidneys.
These exercises, entitled "Ten Minutes' Exercise for
Busy Men," aimed at health. The experience of years
has demonstrated the efficiency of these exercises in
securing the ends for which they were devised. Many
letters have been written by men, testifying to the great
benefit which they have secured from these few minutes
of simple but vigorous work.
Since the publication of this leaflet the correspondence
schools of physical training have come into great activity
Their general aim is to build up big muscles. A somewhat
careful investigation of them satisfies me that they are
inferior to the exercises in this drill for purposes of build-
ing up vigor and manliness.
 One of the most vigorous claims of some of these schools,
namely, that the heart particularly is benefited by their
work, is false, lor I have had case after case of men whose
hearts have been injured by taking the correspondence
schools' work when they were not in condition for it.
The exercises in this pamphlet are recommended with
the confidence of long, successful use. The results secured
are better than those possible from the correspondence
school work in the specific directions mentioned. There
has been an expressed desire for added variety; accord-
ingly my associate, Mr. Hepbron, has prepared similar
exercises to be taken with simple apparatus —
wands,
—
dumb-bells, chest-weights and Indian clubs and I hope
that equally good results will be secured from these
additional drills.
