Daily Exercise

“Conditioning” exercise is what you need. This the type of exercise that will increase your endurance gradually. You may use three things to help you guide yourself in the intensity that you exercise:
Guide (1) Learn what your safe ten-second pulse rate for your age should be during exercise. Learn how to count your ten-second pulse beat and exercise up to that degree.
Guide (2) Exercise to the intensity that you are barely able to carry on a conversation with someone as you exercise.
Guide (3) If you should develop chest pain during exercise, stop at that point. Follow the advice of your physician.
Exercise a minimum of 20-30 minutes at the peak of endurance daily if at all possible, at least every other day. The body forces seem to “escape” from good condition rather easily. Walking is good exercise. Act your age — use a walking stick for stability and for protection against stray dogs. Begin a program of walking on the first day. Walk as far as is comfortable, gradually work up to five miles per day. Take two baths in purest water possible without soap daily, dry brushing the skin before each shower or bathe with a stiff brush.
Take deep breathing exercises three times daily, breathing in as deeply as possible and holding to the count of twenty, breathing out as deeply as possible and holding out to the count of ten. Repeat this exercise twenty times, always in fresh air. MAINTAIN GOOD POSTURE, STANDING, SITTING, AND LYING.
