a friend of mine returned after a number of years from Hawaii, and
remembered hearing from me some 10 years ago or so of these, and
asked if I might write up for her the details how to make use of

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">Because
it takes a bit of time to do so, I felt that it is no more effort on
a computer to do this for 900 than for one – so – here goes!</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">Many
years ago Dr. Norman Vincent Peale – famous for his book "The
Power of Positive Thinking," was lecturing in Switzerland. Two
psychiatrists were so helped by his lectures, that they felt inclined
to return a blessing to him. So they asked him, would you be open to
our returned blessing? He assured them that he was. So they next
asked, "Do you know how to walk?" "I think so," he replied.
"But we mean, do you know how to walk </font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><u>scientifically</u></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">?"
"Tell me," he responded. Following is approximately what they
told him.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">When
you walk, try for at least a mile 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></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">As
you walk – breathe in through your nose as your left foot strikes
the ground twice. Then breathe out through your mouth as your left
foot again strikes the ground twice. This will increase your blood
circulation, your lymphatic system will be activated, and you will
strengthen your lungs.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">Dr.
Peale followed this routine daily up to his 95</font><sup><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">th</font></sup><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">
year – enjoyed extraordinarily good health, and had such a clear
mind that he finished writing his last book the year of his death!</font></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">I
have been following the above routine, and this morning experienced
more ease in walking briskly up steep hills, and more sense of
strength in my lungs than in many a year. I passed my 85</font><sup><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">th</font></sup><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">

years ago or so I was purchasing some Vitamin Supplements at a Health
Store in Puyallup, Washington.. One of the owners asked me, "Do you
know how to use a "Rebounder" (mini-trampoline) scientifically?"
"Tell me," I invited him.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;">"<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">Well,"
he said, "when you use the Rebounder, </font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><u>don't</u></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">
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 #." (I am sticking with the 3 #!)</font></p>

</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">1.
I breathe in to the count of 2, while lifting my weighted arms
straight up and then back to my shoulders, twice.</font></p>

</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">2.
Then I breathe out to the count of 2, while stretching my arms
straight forward twice, bringing my weighted hands back to my
shoulders each time.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">3.

</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">4.
I breathe out to the count of 2, but stretching my arms sideways this
time, out and in to the shoulders to that same count.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">I
do the above 4-fold routine 5 times with my left eye closed, to
strengthen the muscles of my right eye, which happens to be weak for
the past 81 years.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">Next
I repeat the above with both eyes open 5 more double times.. . </font>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">Then,
with my weighted hands extended fully sideways, I rotate them
backwards in a circular motion, breathing in to the count of two, and
then while continuing the circular motion, I breathe out to the same
count. I do this routine again bouncing only with my heels, while
retaining the soles of my feet on the matting.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">I
do this double exercise 11 times. I then repeat the above routine 11
more times, but now moving my weighted arms forward in a circular
motion.</font></p>

</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">For
me, I like to keep my Hebrew alphabet up to date, so I repeat the
first 11 letters of the alphabet for the backward circular motion,
and the last 11 letters to the 11 forward circular motion. </font>

</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">This
also 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></p>

the above only takes about 6 minutes, and it not only causes better
blood circulation, but it also causes the lymphatic system to be
optimally activated. The lymph system has no heart to move it - only
exercise does this. Out of the 22 major sports of America (walking,
jogging, bicycling, swimming etc.), "Cross Country Skiing" does
more for the body than any of the other 21 sports. But "</font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><u>Rebounding</u></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">"
is one percent even better for the body than Cross-Country Skiing! –
And you can do it indoors good weather or bad!</font></p>

</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">The
lymphatic system brings food to the trillions of cells in the human
body, and removes wastes. If the lymph is not activated by exercise
(think of couch-potatoes!) your body becomes like sludge, and your
brain gets headaches and feels bad – and no pep physically.</font></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">There
are a number of books on "The Miracle of Rebounding," which you
can locate by a "Google" search.</font></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">I
broke my back severely on a motor-cycle accident in 1947. I crushed 2
thoracic vertebrae which then fused with the 3</font><sup><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">rd</font></sup><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">
and 6</font><sup><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">th</font></sup><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">.
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></p>

</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">I
can honestly say, because of the severe back injury I received when
23, God has used it to keep me in better health at my age, than I
would have been apart from the back injury. I frankly would not be
wisely looking after my body the way I do, had I not been severely
injured!</font></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">Because
of the exercise systems, I have a clear mind to do the extremely
difficult preparation for Panin's Interlinear Greek New Testament
(approximately.2000 pages). I am now using the Berlitz method of
Hebrew phonetic pronunciation for tourists, and will soon start
putting on our Website Psalm 91, in the same Interlinear format I am
using for the Greek New Testament. I hope to complete the entire NT
within 3 years, plus much more, and put all of this on a revised
Website now being prepared by one of our 6 grandsons.</font></p>
