There is a short section in the back on setting-up (or warm-up) exercises, developed by Dr. George J. Fisher of the Y. M. C. A. and an index. The text is accompanied by many black and white photographs and drawings. In fair condition, the artifact has abrasions on the spine and cover edges, a crease on page 240, dents on the cover corners, general surface soiling on the cover, and a few stains on the cover.Lexicon
