The best kind OF exercise is the
kind that makes you forget that you
are exercising other words play,
says physician. It's a good scheme
to have some more or less strenuous
game for a hobby-golf or bowling
or tennis or archery-anything that
appeals TO you and affords exercise
with interest. But this Is not saying
that systematic exercise Is not good
