Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of the Theory and Practice of the Lifting Exercise: Giving the Principles and Laws Upon Which the Claims of This Exercise Are Based, and Minute Instruction for Its Applications in General and Specific Cases, Also, a Guide for the Use of Mann's Reactionary Lifter The necessity of physical exercise as a means of health is universally acknowledged. Upon it depend the renovation of worn out portions of the body and the normal action of the digestive and secretory organs. From inactivity come flaccid muscles, bad humors, impurity of the body and the general relaxation and torpidity of the whole physical system. These states of the body beget all kinds of disorders and leave the person liable to be attacked by every form of disease. Notwithstanding this necessity, however, and the penalties attached to its neglect, there are many difficulties which all experience in attaining the needed exercise. The time generally required cannot be spared from the professional or other obligations that are pressing upon us. When time is not lacking, difficulty is experienced from the want of means. It may not be convenient to walk while the appliances necessary for the practice of other forms of exercise are wanting. Many persons in delicate states of health need exercise but are in doubt as to what is safe. And still again, what exercise shall we take that will call into action and harmoniously develop the whole body, while it does not involve too great an expenditure of time and money? "What kind of exercise shall we take?" is generally a perplexing question to those who most need it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
