QUESTION—How does Exercycle
operate?

ANSWER—Entirely by electricity. All you
do is get on and relax. An electric motor,
powerful enough to lift a man of more
than 300 pounds, raises the saddle, moves
the handlebars back and forth, causes the
pedals to revolve. The movements are
synchronized to give you rhythmic ver-
tical and horizontal movements. It oper-

ates noiselessly and without vibration.

QUESTION—Don’t you have to
pedal against the motor? _

ANSWER—No. Exercycle exercises you—

entirely without effort on your part.

QUESTION-That surely sounds
effortless but how do you get
any exercise?

ANSWER—In the same way that you are
exercised when you ride a horse. Horse-

refreshed and tingling with a pleasant
sense of well-being. Exercycle does for
you what horseback riding does. In addi-

the benefits of swimming, rowing and cy-

cling.

QUESTION—What are the bene-
fits of effortless exercise?

ANSWER—As no indomitable will power
is required, you will find it actually a plea-
sure instead of a chore to use Exercycle
daily. This is in striking contrast to exer-
cise that you have to do yourself which
seems to become harder and harder to
take until you give it up just when you
should be reaping the benefits.

Again, doctors and others who have
made a study of the effect of exercise on
health more and more frequently sound a
note of warning against too violent exer-
cise, especially when a man or woman ap-
proaches middle age. Such exercise im-
poses too much of a strain on the heart,
often causing serious heart ailments. Even
when the heart can stand the strain it can
cause such fatigue that the possible bene-

fits are more than neutralized by the let-
