What form of exercise was made popular by Bill Bower?

BRY2K

If you mean BILL BOWERMAN, it would be jogging. During a trip to New Zealand in 1962, Bill was introduced to the concept of jogging as a fitness routine through a jogging club organized by his friend and coaching colleague Arthur Lydiard. Bill brought this concept back to the United States, and began to write articles and books about jogging. Bill also created a jogging program in Eugene that became a national model for fitness programs. "A Jogger’s Manual", a three page guide, was published shortly after Bill returned from New Zealand. In 1966, along with cardiologist W.E. Harris, Bill published a 90-page book entitled Jogging. Short and to the point, the book sold over a million copies and was credited with igniting the jogging phenomenon in the USA. Due to the popularity of Jogging, Harris and Bill published a 127 page book in 1967. To this day jogging remains a popular form of exercise for men and women of all ages. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Bowerman http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/businesses/M-Z/Nike-Inc.html Mar 04 08, 4:42 AM
