FITNESS ABCs – International Fitness Association Digital Edition

PERSONAL TRAINING The fitness industry, as we know it today, is a multi-billion dollar industry. Personal training is its ever-growing offspring. While the roots of personal training are difficult to pinpoint (its origin is credited to the 1950s) one could contend that the roots of personal training date back to the beginning of recorded history. While the profession or terminology associated with personal training was not yet in existence, the concept of optimal health, which is the basis behind the profession, was already being touted by ancient philosophers. Around 400 B.C., Hippocrates wrote: “Eating alone will not keep a man well: he must also take exercise. For food and exercise, while possessing opposite qualities, yet work together to produce health … and it is necessary, as it appears, to discern the power of various exercises, both natural exercises and artificial, to know which of them tends to increase flesh and which to lessen it; and not only this, but also to proportion exercise to bulk of food, to the constitution of the patient, to the age of the individual .. .” Of all of our nation’s leaders, President Theodore Roosevelt was one of the – physically and mentally. However, he did not start that way. As a strongest child, Roosevelt was small for his age and quite sickly. He had debilitating asthma, poor eyesight and was extremely thin. When he was twelve years old his father told him, “You have the mind, but you have not the body, and without the help of the body the mind cannot go as far as it should. You must make the body.” Theodore Roosevelt began spending every day building his body as well as his mind. He worked out with weights, hiked, hunted, rowed, and boxed. History can attest: Theodore Roosevelt’s strength in mind and body contributed to his strength as the leader of our nation. Another great leader of our nation was President John Fitzgerald Kennedy Kennedy, like Roosevelt.
