IN the heart. lr spite Of all the ways IN
which We misuse e.; for example when
20 put poison into the blood. One reason
why the heart works 80 well Is that q Is
a practiced organ. IL does iis work In
the shortest and best way. But another
reason Il that rs action Is rhythmical
and regular Rhythmicai exercise g only
half as tiring - irregular exercise Hence
music and singing may be a great help
and may actually keep away fatigue.
Another secret Of endurance IS 20 use
the large muscles Of the body AZ much
a. possible. Il s. just as tinns TO wig
gle the little finger a thousand times
as 10 do some huge movement, for In
stance. with the hips and shoulders
which may BE- q hundred times better
exercise. golf swing or a stroke al q
game. may bring into play ever so many
huge muscles. and yet be not IN the least
fatgulng. This is particularly 20 be-
slider the weight carried and the total o
cause the muscles are large and capable
or enduring heavy work
This is why walking which. n We con-
muscular exeriion. must be accounted
heavy work Is not firing. Another rea-
son why walking II such good exercise f.
that each great movement Is prepara-
ton for the next. An Instance OF this
continuity Of effort is the court tennis
or racket stroke. An ordinary stroke
may be- made with the body facing side
ways. the hand moves from behind and
above and makes sweep with the
racket and then ends up with the racket
in the air and the body facing forward.
This Il just the position which we wish
TO have between the strokes " the games.
Thus the stroke itself leads 70 the walt
Ina position.
Another secret Of good exercise Is 70
stop before fatigue has reached q serious
stage. We can cover fully three times the
stretch Of ground II We run a little and
thon walk shree times that distance and
shen run again. and so on. OF course. dif-
ferent exercises require different rules.
but there are many forms Of exercise
which are better done in q number OF short
spells rather than IN one long. persistent
effort.
WORK. and hard work use up much
nerve force. and so leave less nerve force
for exercise. But Oh The other hand the
exercise win free the blood from some Of
its impurities. and thus counteract the
effect Of worry. Il seems almost as u
pure blood were as valuable 20 exercise
az strong blood Is. The blood Of the In
dians. who can run fifty miles IA ihe day.
is not strous. al ieaaizit Is not strong be-
cause Of much food. but Il is apparently
very pure
In conclusion. then. n you would taxa

form Of competition; move rythmlclily;
use az posslbiel the large muscles Of the
