Physically
the
muscular
system
is
such
an
important
part
of
the
body
that
failure
to
keep
it
in
good
condition
by
failure
to
keep
it
active
seriously
affects
all
other
parts.
The
greater
part
of
the
food
we
eat
is
consumed
by
the
muscles.
Most
of
the
heat
produced
by
the
body
is
generated
in
the
muscles.
Therefore
to
neglect
this
part
of
our
organism
means
to
disorganize,
to
a
large
extent,
the
workings
of
all
other
parts.
The
appetite,
under
such
conditions,
fails
and
the
entire
functional
system
loses
tone.
In
fact,
I
may
say
that
exercise
is
the
first
and
most
important
of
all
the
methods
of
building
functional
strength.
When
the
muscles
are
exercised
the
vital,
organs
are
energized
and
the
activity
of
the
entire
functional
system
greatly
increased-all
clearly
indicating
that
in
taking
physical
exercise
the
internal
organs
are
aroused
and
stimulated.
Gigantic
strength
is
not
especially
needed.
It
is
not
necessary
for
one
to
strive
to
eclipse
the
feats
of
famous
strong
men.
Unusual
muscular
development
is
of
no
great
value
in
this
age,
but
a
normal
degree
of
strength
is
absolutely
necessary
in
the
struggle
for
health
and
vitality.
No
one
should
be
satisfied
with
less
than
what
might
be
regarded
as
a
normal
degree
of
strength,
and
this,
when
once
developed,
can
usually
be
retained
by
a
moderate
amount
of
exercise
each
day.
Now
it
is
not
necessary
to
adopt
some
complicated
system
of
exercise
for
giving
the
muscles
the
required
activity.
Your
exercise
can
take
the
form
of
play.
It
may
preferably
be
taken
out-of-doors.
But
you
must
keep
definitely
in
mind
that
the
body
was
given
you
for
active
use,
and
some
regular
method
must
be
adopted
that
will
insure
the
activity
required.
