YOU MUST BE FIT YOU are a member of the first Women's Army 'in the Y history of the United States. You are one of the small percentage of women qualified in mind and body to perform a soldier's noncombat duties. These duties are many. The demands of war are varied, endless, and merciless. To satisfy these demands, you must be fit. You have successfully passed a rigid physical examination. You are organically sound. Now you must build the strength and stamina, the control and coordination, to do a man's work any hour of the day, every day of the month. To condition your body so that it may meet every demand made of it, a course of planned exercises has been developed. It has been planned by women, for women. It recognizes your capacities. It is based upon a knowledge of the tasks you may be called upon to perform. These exercises are simple and progressive.
