Thank you DAVE for posting this on your blog! I wanted to re-post it here since it was such an excellent list!

As a trainer at the Honolulu Club during the 1990’s, I had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with Mr.

America 1947, George Eiferman. George handed me his business card the first time we met. The card is folded with a photo of George from his Mr. Universe victory on the front and his philosophy “Ten Daily Exercises” on the inside;

1). A good eye exercise – See also the perfection in others, see the everlasting beauty in human kindness.

2). A good tongue exercise – Speak from the heart instead of the mouth.

3). A good facial exercise – A smile often repeated.

4). A hearing exercise – When we speak we learn nothing. Listening is the teacher, then speak.

5). Brain exercise – Think only constructive thoughts. Good reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

6). Leg exercise – Walk toward knowledge, wisdom, health and brotherhood of all men.

7). Breathing exercise – Inhale the great works of music, art, literature and philosophy. Exhale spitefulness and other negative thoughts.

8). Strength exercise – Have the strength to endure when things are unendurable, to pass the next test after failing the recent one.

9). Heart exercise – Have the heart to “constructively” improve self, our environment, community and country.

10). Soul exercise – We are never alone. Walk with God.
