(Webmaster's
Notes: The following book is published for entertainment
only. Although I am quite in agreement with many, but not
all, of Mr. Camp's attitudes towards fitness and health, he wrote in
the earliest part of the 20th century, and much has been learned since
then. While I applaud his attitude towards physcial fitness,
exercise, and health, many of his "facts" have since been provem wrong,
or at least not fully understood. I may make the occasional
commen along the way, genernally in parentheses and prefaced by WN, for
Webmaster's Notes.
I
hope you enjoy the book, but check up on the latest facts before
following through on the exercise and fitness tips contained within.
By the way, the original book had quite a few illustrationg,
and you may see reference here or there to them. However, I
have omitted them on this website.

INTRODUCTION
The number of men who "keep fit" in this country has been surprisingly
few, while the number of those who have made good resolutions about
keeping fit is astonishingly large. Reflection upon this fact has
convinced the writer that the reason for this state of affairs lies
partly in our inability to visualize the conditions and our failure to
impress upon all men the necessity of physical exercise. Still more,
however, does it rest upon our failure to make a scientific study of
reducing all the variety of proposals to some standard of exceeding
simplicity. Present systems have not produced results, no matter what
the reason. Hence this book with its review of the situation and its
final practical conclusions.
AN AMERICAN
CITIZEN'S CREED
I believe that a nation should be made up of people who individually
possess clean, strong bodies and pure minds; who have respect for their
own rights and the rights of others and possess the courage and strength
to redress wrongs; and, finally, in whom self-consciousness is
sufficiently powerful to preserve these qualities. I believe in
education, patriotism, justice, and loyalty. I believe in civil and
religious liberty and in freedom of thought and speech. I believe in
chivalry that protects the weak and preserves veneration and love for
parents, and in the physical strength that makes that chivalry
effective. I believe in that clear thinking and straight speaking which
conquers envy, slander, and fear. I believe in the trilogy of faith,
hope, and charity, and in the dignity of labor; finally, I believe that
through these and education true democracy may come to the world.
