(Re printed from the Burlington Daily Times-News.) The importance of being fit is not debated, but still there are those of us who remain fiabby. Liking your own body helps a peson to look better, and more importantly, feel better, which promotes self-confidence. It improves emotional attitudes and slows down premature aging. On top of this, being at the desired weight lowers the risk of heart attacks, insures better circulation and reduces tension and stress, two deadly killers of today’s busy, busy society. Being slimmer ac tually saves about 30 percent on clothing. An important part of good health and slim bodies is exercise. Like dieting, exercis ing is adapted to suit the individual’s particular pro blem. Workouts are geared for different areas of the body, such as the thighs, waist, hips and buttocks. Leg lifts, an exercise that can easily be done at home, tones the thighs and slims the stomach. Exercise does not have to be gruelling or boring. There are many things one can do that bum off calories but does not involve nmning endlessly around a track, or worse in place. Jumping rope for 10 minutes is excellent for the legs and circulation and is equivalent to jogging one mile. Hip walks are especially slimming, and even fun when done to music with a friend. Running up the three flights of steps to the dorm room is not much, but it helps to keep your legs in shape. Exercises should be per formed daily, from one half hour to an hour. If a day is missed, do not abandon sUp. Less damage is done when one session instead of the entire program is missed. On an effective reducing program, losses of two to three pounds a week can be expected. At this rate, it is less likely that the unwanted flab will reappear. Once in shape, do not stop exercising and watching what you eat. The result? A longer and happier life with everything to gain- except fat.
