Is Advice Of Winthrop Physical
Education Head To Devotees Of
Physical Fitness >— Suggests
Sensible Ways Of Keeping
In ‘Trim’.
(By Julia H. Post, Professor of
Physical Education, Winthrop
College.)
We are hearing a great deal
these days about the necessity for ^
nation, go to your physician and
have a thorough check-up. Ask
his advice as to the types of ac
tivities best suited to you.
Remember that physical fitness
can only be attained. through the
maintenance of a “sound mind in
a sound body”. One’s mental state
is as important as firm muscles
and good digestion in efficient
living. Worry and nervousness
can undo all the good effects of
any “system” of exercise.
Become informed concerning
the most effective means of pre
venting the spread of infectious
diseases, including colds, and do
your part in keeping your commu
nity in good health.
Learn how to eat wisely and to
select your food so as to main
tain good nutrition. Physical fit
ness is impossible without ade
quate fuel to supply in the form,
of good food.
Try to find some activity which
will take you out of doors. One
hour a day out of doors would be
possible in anyone’s budget of time
and is little enough to give in the
service of one’s country.
Choose an activity which offers
a challenge to you. Do not be
satisfied with being a “dub” golfer,
but go into it with the idea of be
coming as good a player as possi-

ed on all sides with ways and
means of becoming a physically
fit nation. There are two reasons
for this emphasis. In peace times
only six out of a hundred school
children are provided with the
opportunity for regular physical
examinations. The percentage is
correspondingly lower for adults.
In war times large numbers of
men and women who are going
into various forms of service are
examined in considerable detail
and we are startled by the revela
tions of the apparent physical un
fitness of our population. Also, in
war time we become increasingly
aware of the need for physical
fitness as a basis for better citi
zenship.
In periods of emergency, such
as the present, it is the patriotic
duty of every citizen to keep him
self in the best possible physical
condition in order to be ready for
the demands made upon him.
Efficient citizenship can only be
possible for individuals who are
physically fit. Also, it becomes a
patriotic duty to keep oneself in
the best possible physical condi
tion in order to decrease the de
mand made by the civilian popu-
; ture will do much literally to
“make a new man of you”.
Remember that the ability to
relax is an iijiportant factor in
keeping oneself fit. The high
tension under which most of us
find ourselves causes more physi
cal harm than many other factors.
Teach yourself how to relax and
make a practice of allowing for a
period of relaxation every day.
If you do not already have one,
adopt a hobby. There is nothing
that will prove more helpful in
taking your mind off worries of
income tax returns, depressing
war news, and the like, than an
absorbing hobby. If you are in a
sedentary occupation, make that
hobby one that will take you out al president of the auxiliary w

service decreases the extent to
which care can be provided for
the civilian population.
We Americans, as a nation, have
become spoiled. We would much
prefer to push a button and have
good health just as we have ac
quired the habit of pushing but
tons for satisfying many of the
needs of our every day life. We
are constantly seeking for an easy
way out. Six lessons from Madam
Lazonga has come to be an ex
pression of our general attitude
toward attaining the ends which
we desire. We have become un
willing to take the longer way and
thus acquire more permanent and
lasting results.
.Many systems of training are
being proposed at the present
*’me for acquiring physical fitness.
Each proponent of a system of
exercises claims for his particular
system the maximum of body
building with the minimum of
the use of the motor car may come
through the necessity of provid
ing recreation within the home for
all members of the family.
Look to your posture. Try to
make your carriage more erect.
Keeping your head up will help
to keep your morale up. A nation
with heads up cannot be a de
feated nation.
Remember that it is your patri
otic duty to keep yourself in the
best physical and mental condi
tion in order that you may con
tribute your share of Vim and
Vitality for Victory.
