eat more sensibly and exercise more often. That's why I'm
leading the Campaign to Shape Up America!

weight and physical condition -- you'll enjoy the benefits
of better health and a happier life that improved fitness
can bring.
And, that's why we've prepared this guide -- to give you
the practical help you need to shape up yourself and
your family.
