How to Get Strong and How to Stay So

A practical manual advocates systematic daily physical exercise to build and preserve strength throughout life, arguing that even later starters can correct weak or uneven development with judicious routines. It examines common postural faults and the effects of varied lifestyles, and offers guidance for home and school arrangements for regular training. The text provides step-by-step regimens for children, young adults, women, working adults, the obese, the thin, the elderly, and consumptives, and explains targeted exercises for legs, chest, abdomen, shoulders, arms, hands, and the loins. Diagrams, appliance designs, and examples of measurable results support advice on creating balanced, sustainable programs.
