About this ebook
Walter Camp’s Daily Dozen workout routine is a program of standing body-weight exercises devised nearly 100 years ago to give you a ‘running jump-start to the serious work of the day!’
As an adviser to the United States military during World War One, Camp (along with many others) was shocked at the physical condition of the young men brought in for physical examination. He set about devising 12 simple exercises that would be quick, simple, and of equal use to everyone, regardless of size, shape or current level of fitness.
Daily ‘setting up’ exercises such as the Daily Dozen are once more back in fashion and are of particular use to office workers and others who are looking to take the first step in eliminating a sedentary lifestyle.
This edition includes a further 3 exercises that Camp added for the best selling record set. Updated and rewritten with a 21st Century audience in mind, Walter Camp’s Daily Dozen is certainly worth another look.
Fully Illustrated.

I am not now, nor have I EVER been, a professional athlete. I do not intend to run a marathon, for fun or any other reason, or suggest anyone else run one. I have never had the support of trainers, nutritionists, or any other exercise specialists. I am just a guy who likes working out at home! Home workouts with body-weight exercises are kind of my ‘thing.’ I don’t like gyms and I like being able to use my own shower. I set up Internal Force Fitness to search for the ultimate series of exercises you can do at home. The exercises need to fit certain criteria: they should not cost money, they should not require a stupidly high level of fitness already, they should not hurt, and finally – they should be ENJOYABLE! Join me – and enjoy the best body-weight only exercise programs history and the world have to offer! ~ Richie Neville Oh - and I also write Pirate books and stories about the Devil's Administrator when the mood takes me...

What is Walter Camp’s Daily Dozen?
Walter Camp’s Daily Dozen workout routine is a series of exercises devised nearly one-hundred years ago to give you a ‘running jump-start to the serious work of the day!’
As an advisor to the United States military during World War One, Camp (along with many others) was shocked at the physical condition of the young men brought in for physical examination. He set about devising twelve simple exercises that would meet the following criteria:
Last no longer than eight or ten minutes once or twice per day.
Be simple to learn.
Eliminate exercises or movements that we perform daily anyway.
Be so simple to remember and complete that there becomes no excuse NOT to do them!
Make the exercises of equal use to EVERYBODY regardless of size, shape or level of fitness.
Not leave you so tired after doing them that you are too tired to do anything else!
Before we start I should tell you there are actually FIFTEEN exercises in the Daily Dozen! As it developed from a best-selling pamphlet/book to a best-selling record set, Walter Camp made some changes to one of the sets. I'm including the extra set of exercises here (because they are worth doing!), but also keeping the other set (because they are worth doing too!).
I will also detail some variations, extra exercises and other little tips and tricks to make the Daily Dozen the COMPLETE exercise program it was always meant to be.
Please remember there is a SERIOUS difference between 'fit' for health purposes and 'fit' in the slang sense of the term. To be healthy does not require being 'ripped' or what magazines would consider 'hot', and a person can be more physically fit with less muscle tone than a person with 'insane' definition.
Give the Daily Dozen just TWO WEEKS, then see for yourself what PROPER exercising can do for you.
F.A.Q's
