“… my favorite piece of all your inventions. Assuming that one cannot always come to your studio, and work on all of the many inventions you have created to help humanity return to Life… the chair seems to me the most usable. It is light enough, to begin with, to move around easily by one person… Your set of exercises for chair are so complete that every muscle of the body is toned up equally all over, and the varied exercises are also void of monotony (such as, for instance, the floor exercises sometimes seem just drudgery to me)… This necessity to keep one’s mind alert, and the constantly changing positions hold one’s interest and this, in itself, is a valuable part of daily exercising- to enjoy it. And it takes up so little room, anyone could use it even in a small hotel room.”
