Optimum Fitness

About the Book

Aerobic fitness has been popularized over the past twenty years emphasizing the legs as a primary muscle pump to reach a calculated heart rate for a specified time period.  The result has been excessive wear and tear on both the muscle structure and bone structure.

The purpose of OPTIMUM FITNESS is to provide a complete muscular workout with evenly distributed stress over the whole body in different positions.  The sequence of exercises is arranged so that individual muscles become congested with blood and act as peripheral hearts to sustain an exercise heart rate, efficiently convey lactic acid from exercised muscles, and exercise all muscle groups in a fashion to produce a balanced physique.
