FITNESS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

by ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 22, 1964

Some assorted articles have been assembled for ""young families"" or ""families who want to stay young"" to promote fitness which is, at one point here, designated as a total failure in this country. Dr. White, who discusses, as expected, coronary disease, is joined by some well known names (Bonnie Prudden, Janet Travell- former white House physician, Vern Harper, J. Roswell Gallagher) and others who recommend the right regimen from diet to exercise; Ruth Evans writes about music and rhythms for children, Ted Shawn on the dance for an older group; there are extensive calisthenics (with diagrams), sports, as well as a backyard program involving more than the Sunday ritual of the barbecue. All of it serves well do to good.
