Excerpt from Physical Training and Games: As Used in the Canadian Forces
This book is compiled from special Tables as taught in the Canadian Forces and its object is to give a few simple exercises which will build up the body and also tone the nerves. In everyday life the fact that the muscles of the body become soft is lost sight of, and the consequence is that when hard, musclar work is required of the body it is unable to perform it through lack of proper treatment.
I served three years in France with the Canadian Forces and each day one hour was set apart for Physical Training, which kept our men in almost perfect condition at all times.
These exercises are very good for the man in good physical condition, and are equally as good and even better for those not in first-class condition.
A short time set aside for these exercises to be performed in daily will show in a short time a wonderful improvement in the body.
It is always good policy to learn one Table correctly before advancing to the next. In this way a gradual building up process takes place.
Stout and stiff lambed persons would benefit very much, from taking these exercises.
If benefit is derived by all who partake in these exercises, then the object of this book is accomplished.
