without ever pausing

from lack of exercise.

to keep physically fit and still function
effectively in one's business.
This is Mr Fielding Mellish,
our research tester,
who will demonstrate the Exec-usiser.
Every part of the body receives
an adequate exercise work-out.
The pedalling develops the muscles
to keep the leg muscles flexible.
When Mr Mellish pulls the drawer out,
a weight has to be lifted
on top of the desk which exercises
his arms and his back muscles.
The telephones are both spring activated.
Both muscles in the biceps are given
a work-out to sustain flexible arms.
On the back wall,
there's a handle for each arm.
As he pulls, the back muscles
are brought into action
in a manner that keeps
the back flexible and strong.

at the side of the machine,
as they're handled by Mr Mellish,
develop reflexes.
