A Manual of Physical Exercises, Calisthenic--Massage, Intended Especially for Persons of Sedentary Occupations, and Those in Middle or Advanced Life (Classic Reprint)

During a daily practice of calisthenic exercises for thirty years, I have formulated them into a routine, which has proved convenient in indicating such exercises of this nature as would seem sufficient for health or recreation. I am not aware that anything has been written that presents the subject of exercise in the order and conciseness of this Primer, and it is hoped that what is here noted may satisfy the needs of most people in the way of a hand-book guide for personal use. The exercises are especially suited for persons of sedentary occupations, and those in middle or advanced life. JOHN P. HAWKINS, United States A rmy. I ndianapolis, I ndiana, 1909.
