Two psychyatrists were so helped by his lectures, that they felt inclined to return a blessing to him. So they asked him, "Do you know how to walk?" "I think so," he replied. "But we mean, do you know how to walk <u>scientifically</u>?" "Tell me," he responded. Following is approximately what they told him.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><font face="Times New Roman">When you walk, try for several miles a day. Whether you are walking up or down hill, do not change your pace. If you share your walk with another, stop when either wants to talk. Continue on with the above pace without further talking.</font></span></p>

Then breathe out through your mouth as your left foot again strikes the ground twice.

One of the owners asked me, "Do you know how to use a "Rebounder" (mini-trampoline) scientifically?" "Tell me," I invited him.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><font face="Times New Roman">"Well," he said, "when you use the Rebounder, <u>don't</u> try like young folk to see how high you can bounce! Instead, don't let the soles of your feet leave the matting. Only rise and lower with your heels! Also, use weights in both hands, starting with 3 #, up to 5 #, or even up to 10 #."

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><font face="Times New Roman">Following is the routine I use myself for the past 20 years or so: I breathe in through my nose, 3 x while I do 3 bounces, at the same time lifting my arms with the 3 # weights in upward position 3 x. Next I breathe out through my nose 3 x, while extending my arms sideways with the weights, 3 x. I then repeat the upward 3 x routine, but then change to stretching my arms forward the next three times. I do this double routine 5 times with my left eye closed, so I can strengthen my right eye, which has been weak for 81 years.</font></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><font face="Times New Roman">Next I repeat the above with both eyes open 5 more double times. This wonderfully strengthens your eyes. Just last month I went to my optometrist after a 4 year break, and he said. "Your eyes at your age are so good, that I am not prescribing any change this time in your lenses for your glasses. You do have incipient cataracts, but they are so under control, that they will actually be a help to you!</font></span></p>

Out of the 22 major sports of </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">America</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"> (walking, jogging, bicycling, swimming etc.,) "Cross Country Skiing" does more for the body than any of the other 21 sports.

I crushed 2 thoracic vertebrae which then fused with the 3<sup>rd</sup> and 6<sup>th</sup>. I fractured the two lower cervical vertebrae, and severely injured 2 of the lumbar ones. Dr. Portnuff of Yorkton, Saskatchewan, said it was a miracle that I did not sever my spinal cord, for not knowing my back was broken, I rode another 100 miles in great pain. I was in a cast for 6 months. 10 years later I started to experience severe pain and stiffness in my total back area. By the late '40's, I despaired of being able to continue adequately in life. God then led me into a number of stretching exercises which I continue to do to this day. My daughter said, "Dad, if you don't keep up these, plus the others you do, you'll become like a board." She got my attention!</font></span></p>
