Publisher's Synopsis

It is time to say farewell to poor posture and to revitalise your sedentary life - Donald Walker's age-old advice will have you limbering up, in the proper way, before no time.

If you haven't yet discovered the vast array of benefits that arise from physical exertion, then let Walker be your guide. As well as helping to prolong life and improve its happiness, active exercises can help you to achieve a beauty of form, elegant air and graceful manners.

Through a combination of manly exercises such as leaping, skating and climbing trees, you can acquire the physique you desire and become the envy of all gentlemen.

Tips include:
· - The correct way to walk at different paces - slow, moderate and quick
· - The best liquids to consume - primarily cold beer and cider
· - Permitted vegetable matter - including biscuits and stale bread

Step aside young yogies and modern-day fitness afficionados, Walker's Victorian advice is proven, practical and positively transformative.

About the Publisher

Michael Joseph

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
