What is The Cooper Institute? A few decades ago, people thought exercise was a waste of time and that it could kill you. Gyms were for body builders and boxers and it wasnt safe for women to jog or ladylike for them to sweat. Through over 600 scientific publications, these myths were dispelled and we now know its important to be fit.

This video premiered at the 2010 Generations of Wellness Luncheon for The Cooper Institute's 40th anniversary, with guest speaker, Tom Brokaw.
