Clean and solid

"Fitness," says Bonnie Prudden, "means being fit to get more out of life - being able to do what you'd like to do as well as what you have to do. And it's never too late to get in shape." Her prescription is simple,

"Take stock of yourself: measure

your figure, decide which spots need reducing and conditioning, and chart your program. Then set aside a few minutes a day for easy exercises. In six weeks you will begin to have a better looking body, a better functioning body, but, most of all, more energy to enable you to get more fun out of life." Bonnie Prudden's Fitness Book shows you how to get the results you want.

In addition to 28 conditioning exercises, this book gives you

• a six-week exercise work-up sheet

• a spot reduction chart

• a weight and measurement chart

• tips for eating

• tips for living

• 5 stunts on the sawhorse

• 4 exercises on an ironing board

• 6 partner exercises for parent-child

• lists of exercises for specific sports and special parts of the body

• easy-to-make backyard gym equipment for added fun

Bonnie Prudden's lessons, most of which originally appeared in SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, are for all ages. This book will prove that you are not too young, too old, too full of aches, too fat, too thin, too flabby, too laxy, or too far gone to keep fit. Especially for family fun are parent-child exercises and ideas for a build-it-yourself backyard playground.
