WE'RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE
Walking for a healthy heart
Walking is an everyday activity
that you can transform into a regular
exercise program to help develop and
maintain fitness. It is an aerobic
exercise that can condition the
heart and lungs if performed at the
proper intensity for 20 to 30 minutes
at a time, at least three times a week.
Conditioning increases the oxygen
available to the body and enables the
heart to use oxygen more efficiently.
Unfortunately, aerobic exercise
alone cannot prevent or cure heart
disease. If the major risk factors —
high blood pressure, a high blood
cholesterol level, diabetes and ciga-
rette smoking — are ignored, exercise
alone probably won’t help much.
But a regular exercise program can
be a step toward a happier, healthier
life. Besides the cardiovascular bene-
fits, Regular exercise such as walking
can:
* Give you more energy and
increase your resistance to fatigue.
* Improve your self-image.
* Relieve tension and help you
relax and sleep.
* Tone your muscles.
Before beginning an exercise pro-
gram, see your doctor if you are not
accustomed to regular exercise and
are a male over 45 years old or a
female over 50 years old. Also see
your doctor first if you have heart
trouble, diabetes or high blood pres-
sure, or suffer from pain, extreme
breathlessness or dizziness.
To ensure a successful walking
program, choose a specific time of
day and stick with it. When do you
have the most energy? Some people
like to walk in the morning to pre-
pare themselves for the day ahead.
Some walk during their lunch hours.
Others like to walk when the day is
over to relieve tension. You should
choose the best time for you, de-
pending on your schedule and state
of mind.
You will Want to continue your
exercise program year-round, so find
a place where you can walk all the
time. For outdoor walking, find a
course with a smooth, soft surface
that does hot intersect with traffic,
if possible. When weather prevents
outdoor walking, walk around an
indoor track at a school or recreation
center. Many people are putting on
their walking shoes and walking
around shopping malls.

Lou Ferrigno, television’s
"Incredible Hulk" has reached
an agreement with the Valley-
based World of Fitness spa
chain to appear at all future
company grand openings.
The athlete-bodybuilder tur-
ned performer has scheduled
three Valley appearances
during the next twelve months
and will be available for
autograph sessions, seminars,
and training tips.
World of Fitness is the
parent company of Woman’s
World and Men’s World, and is
the largest health spa chain in
south Texas.
The 6’4", 255 lb. Ferrigno is
the youngest and only man to
win the coveted Mr. Universe
title two years in succession.
By age 22, Ferrigno had gar-
nered the Mr. Teenage
America, Mr. America, Mr.
Universe, and Mr. Inter-
national titles establishing
himself as a mainstay in
worldwide competition.
After a short but punctuated
career in the Canadian football
league Ferrigno moved to
California to make a career in
bodybuilding.
It was at this time Universal
studios summoned him to test
for the “Incredible Hulk.” The
producers of the show were so
impressed by his magnificant
physique and personable
nature that he was signed for
the role.
Ferrigno has since ventured
far from his early beginnings
as “The Hulk" to enjoy a suc-
cession of acting roles in
television, live theatre and
motion pictures.
As the character “Johnny
Six” on the television series
“Trauma Center", Lou made
new headway as a “speaking”
actor and proved to audiences
that despite a 75% childhood
hearing loss, he had truly
broken the sound barrier.
Ferrigno added further
distinction to his career and
filled a childhood dream with
his portrayal of “Hercules" in
the motion picture of the same
name and followed that suc-
cess with “The Adventures of
Hercules” due for release this
year.
Ferrigno’s achievements in
helping our country’s deaf and
hearing impaired culminated in
his role as the National
Hearing and Speech Month

Chairman through which he
has campaigned vigorously for

Presidential Commendation for
his humanitarian efforts.
When Lou is not consumed
with the demands of a hectic
personal appearance schedule,
which includes numerous visits
to ailing people in hospitals, he
enjoys the solitude of his
Southern California retreat
with wife Carla.
With a widening acting and
business career for this athlete
turned performer, there can be
no question that Lou Ferrigno is
pushing his weight.
