KEN COOPERS AEROBICS
Exercise is the chief source of improvement in our faculties.
Hugh Blair
During his thirteen years of service in the United States Air Force, Dr. Kenneth Cooper developed a method for keeping score of aerobic exercise and published the book Aerobics in 1968. Coopers book and his evangelistic promotion of aerobics were major contributors to the emergence of the jogging boom. As a result of the increased emphasis on exercise throughout the country, Americans experienced a 14 percent reduction in heart disease during the 1970s. Coopers message has been carried around the world. Have you done your Cooper today? is a frequently asked question in Brazil, and around the globe in Japan, a new 750-acre Coopers Aerobic Center has been constructed.
Aerobics has caught on because it saves lives and helps people manage stress. With the cost of health care soaring, wellness programs save businesses money and also save employees lives. While the drudgery of work has vanished for many people, the mental stresses of modern life can exact a heavy toll on the body. Exercise relieves stress, helps to eliminate depression, and builds stamina. By now, it should be apparent to everyone that jogging and exercise are not simply fads. They have become a familiar part of many peoples daily routines, particularly those who want to make the best of their lives.
CONSIDER THIS: What good is it to become wealthy, successful, or famous when you cannot enjoy life because of depression, or if you die early because of poor health? Good health must be a high priority in your life.
