FROM PAGE C1 twisting and jiggling. An illustrated guide with simple directions accompanies the record, and on my first try I was able to follow along quite easily. What is great about the system. is that you feel no. pressure or inhibition. Encouraged by Shirley’s persuasive: suggestions I was soon cavorting about with.. abandon, innovating where I felt like it.and getting'a much better workout than I would | among the inhibiting stares of teacher and class. Of course the opposite side of the coin is that if you become confused, or can’t figure out an excercise, there is no one to ask. I found myself a few times all twisted up and completely frustrated over one ex- cercise, while Shirley was unconcernedly half-way through the next. That doesn’t happen with Dave Bogoch’s book, Bogie’s Book on Fitness, because complete instructions and cartoon-diagrams give a start-to finish, detailed account of each exercise and why you should do it. ° The book has all the self- righteous enthusiasm of the Jock giving a few tips to the uninitiated. But once you get used to the condescending tone of the book, and ex- planations that are over simple a good, a common- sense guide to fitness emerges. The introduction tells us that the book is directed to the 90 per cent of the population that never received in school the at- tention and physical fitness training which is directed to the small percent of athletes. “In the following pages” says the introduction, “is everything you should know about fitness but were never taught.” It's a large task the writer sets himself and, speaking as one of the 90 per cent, I think he does quite well. The book is divided into 10 chapters. The first, a carrot before the nose, extols the delights and benefits of fitness. Once your appetite is whetted, the book moves on to flexibility and gives a thorough daily stretching routine to be followed cach day and before strenuous exercise. - Strength, F NS eet ye There are chapters on the heart, tension, running, energy, food, diet, a guide to . buying proper equipment, and many explanations of why you should do certain exercises and how they affect the body. _ The book keeps reminding you -of four major com-~* ponents of fitness which should be the goals of any fitness program. They are ‘Flexibility, Cardiovascular Endurance, Muscular and Muscular ‘Endurance. . The book shows why as well as how you should improve these. One of the most enjoyable | features of Bogie’s book is the art work by. David Alavoine. The illustrated subjects are not the usual excersise manual fare of the £ 410 Fell Ave. North Van. ; . ideal man or woman demonstrating the correct pose, but caricatures of ordinary people who are overweight, puffing heavily, and exhausted, but they keep on trying. The cartoons are lots of fun because somehow yau don’t feel like the only one who has trouble becoming an athlete overnight, and that’s encouraging. I liked both the record and the book andd would rec- commend them . both. Especially if your time for excercise is eratic or limited, or as a supplement to an. exercise program already follow. Bogie’s Book on Fitness is readily available at sport shops and book stores, and you Joy of Fitness is sold at - London Drugs.
