内容简介
When I introduced Aerobics as a new concept of exercise,
my chief aim was to counterac.t the problems of lethargy
and inactivity which are so prevalent in America. There-
fore, my first book was mainly a motivational book, but
also it was an attempt to encourage people to examine
more closely the benefits to be gained from regular exer-
cise. The wide public acceptance of AEROBICS indicates
that these objectives have been at least partially achieved.
The present volume serves a different purpose. As a
result of the comments from people in all walks of life
and the accumulation of vast amounts of new data, it has
been possible to prepare a book which discusses in great
detail the specific requirements for safely and effectively
entering an age-adjusted exercise program. For this reason
I hope that the faithful follower of AEROBICS as well as
the unconditioned beginner will find this sequel to AERO-
BICS both interesting and challenging. Because of the
expanded range of exercise options, the adjustment for
age, and the comprehensive data tables, I also hope that
physical educators and medical personnel concerned with
exercise will find this book useful in supervising physical
conditioning programs. I think of this book as an Aerobics
handbook or Aerobics guidelines.
Whether this book is used as an individual exercise
guide or as a professional reference work, it is my pro-
found hope as a physician that it will serve its readers as
a key to health and well-being.
