From the back cover: Bonnie Prudden's report to President Eisenhower showing American children to have fitness level far below that of Europeans led to the formation of the President's Council On Youth Fitness. The original study was prompted by concern for the health of her own two children.

She head the Institute For Physical Fitness, is Fitness Editor for both Sports Illustrated and the NBC Today Show and directs the AMVET fitness program. She has received the YMCA Award for Service to Youth, recognition by the American Medical Association and an honorary Masters Degree from Springfield College.

She has planned fitness programs for Public, Independent and Parochial schools, colleges, universities, YMCA's, PTA's, Prisons, Women's Clubs, Camps and for the handicapped and the aged.

She has been a regular attraction of Dave Garroway's Today Show and is the author of several books and innumerable articles on fitness.

  2. My mother would exercise to this one in the morning after everyone was out of the house (I wasn't in school yet, so I was home). She even had a leotard for exercising. I do remember some mornings she would skip the album and exercise along with Ed Allen on TV.
