Editing Walter Camp (section)

==The Daily Dozen exercise regimen==
Camp was a proponent of exercise, and not just for the athletes he coached. While working as an adviser to the [[United States armed forces|United States military]] during [[World War&nbsp;I]], he devised a program to help servicemen become more physically fit.

<blockquote>
Walter Camp has just developed for the Naval of setting up exercises that seems to fill the bill; a system designed to give a man a running jump start for the serious work of the day. It is called the "daily dozen set-up", meaning thereby twelve very simple exercises.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=aogiAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA98 "A Daily Dozen Set-Up. Walter Camp's New Shorthand System of Morning Exercises", ''Outing'', November 1918, p. 98]</ref>

Both the [[United States Army|Army]] and the [[United States Navy|Navy]] used Camp's methods.<ref>"Walter Camp, Father of Football," ''Atlanta Constitution'', September 19, 1920, p. 2D</ref>

The names of the exercises in the original Daily Dozen, as the whole set became known, were hands, grind, crawl, wave, hips, grate, curl, weave, head, grasp, crouch, and wing. As the name indicates, there were twelve exercises, and they could be completed in about eight minutes.<ref>"Camp's Daily Dozen Exercises", ''[[Boston Globe]]'', July 11, 1920, p. 64</ref> A prolific writer, Camp wrote a book explaining the exercises and extolling their benefits. During the 1920s, a number of newspapers and magazines used the term "Daily Dozen" to refer to exercise in general.<ref>[[Lulu Hunt Peters]], "Diet and Health: The Daily Dozens—Take 'Em."

Starting in 1921 with the ''Musical Health Builder'' [[Gramophone record|record]] sets, Camp began offering morning setting-up exercises to a wider market.<ref>[https://www.nlm.nih.gov/hmd/happening/acquisitions/recentacquisitions07.html "Recent Acquisitions 2007"], National Library of Medicine, Walter Camp ''Musical Health Builder'' (New York, 1921).
