Books like How to exercise without moving a muscle by Victor F. Obeck

"This groundbreaking study demonstrates how the prevalent problems of obesity, ailing health, and lack of energy can all be easily improved simply by using the power of gravity. The survey is based on the author's research into how weightlessness weakens astronauts' muscles, bones, and overall well-being, suggesting ways to incorporate gravity into everyday life and illustrating how it can increase fitness as well as prevent aging. Addressing those who spend more than half their lives sitting and therefore struggle to benefit from even the most strenuous gym workouts, this practical, easy-to-follow action plan outlines simple gravity-resisting activities such as standing, walking, and dancing, guaranteed to produce better results than diet and exercise plans"-- "Harness the life-changing power of gravity!

I read this book in the Ottawa Public Library in the 1960's. Since then it has been deleted. It is about how certain postures and slow deep breathing in sitting, standing, etc. leads to great strength without artificial exercise. The author based his theory on observations of "natural strongmen". Bodybuilders lost size and strength while away from the gym, but these natural strongmen did not. Unfortunately, the author's theory completely ignores the genetic basis of physical variation in humans and other animals. You cannot make a rottweiler out of a poodle. Bill Maxwell, Ottawa.
