A lot of people thought Ruth was going to burn himself out. After "The Bellyache Heard ‘Round the World" Ruth realized if he wanted to continue playing ball into his thirties, he needed to do something different. He showed up at Artie McGovern’s gymnasium and committed himself to McGovern’s strict regimen of exercise, diet, and rest. Six weeks later, by the time he was ready to head south for spring training, Ruth had lost 44 pounds and shed almost nine inches from his waistline. The Babe never let himself get seriously out of shape again. Not exactly mathematical, but he showed the value of exercise and diet.
