time Of sports activity, dating
from kid days on the sand lot
and college athletics to his place
in baseball as the Yankees most
valuable player.
Here is a man who gets so much
activity in his profession that he
can use months of inactivity as
a balance. Instead Of planning
all the activity possible during his
vacation, he. sees how little he can
get! He needs rest to balance the
strenuous demands Of the ball
season. .....
Even at that, he gets more ex-
ercise than the average man, for
he gets ten-minute leg-strec ching
exercises every morning. He
leans against the piano in the
living room and goes through
calisthenics similar to those Of a
ballet dancer, to keep his famous
| legs in shape. a
Bending one leg at the knee, Lou
graspS the foot in one hand and
pulls it up in back as high as he
can get it. Then, for additional
stretch of the leg muscles, he leans
against the piano, still holding the
foot up in back.
Like Jim Braddock, the fighter,
he also favors few bending exer-
cises. This, practiced for the stip-
ulated 10 minutes, is all the exer-
else he takes, except for walking
and ice skating.
Gehrig is opposed to vigorous
exercise between the seasons fol-
the very good reason that all top.
notch athletes run the risk Of
becoming muScle-bound from toe
much activity.
Even for the business man who
sits at a desk all day, however
he believes in moderation in eXer
else. For this type person, Spurts
of activity may prove a strain;
Regular mild exercise offers a
better balance to the office routine
The sleeping habits of this base
ball hero are further proof Of his
excellent health. He can sleer
anywhere - and apparently
through anything! When the
team came North this year, theil
train struck an automobile-and
Gehrig slept right through the
commotion.
Normal weight for Gehrig, whose
height is six feet one, is 210 pounds
all muscle, and he has kept this
weight for years. In one game hi
sometimes loses eight pounds, but
he drinks enormous quantities Of
water and the weight is read
justed in few hours.
Toward the end of the season
he finds it necessary to eat more
heartily than usual in order tt
keep his weight up. Ordinarily
he likes fairly light meals.
Mrs. Gehrig says that her hus
band Is the least finicky man in
