Dr. Paul Dudley White, Professor of Cardiology, was one of Harvard Medical School’s most eminent teachers. He always stressed that exercise had major physical and mental benefits and he practiced what he preached! Each day for years he rode his bike to the Massachusetts General Hospital.

White remarked that, “If you wish to find out how flabby your brain is, feel your leg muscles.” Or as Abraham Lincoln remarked, “I have two doctors. My left leg and my right.”
