89-YEAR-OLD TO BECOME NEXT PHYSICAL FITNESS GURU?

89-YEAR-OLD TO BECOME NEXT PHYSICAL FITNESS GURU?

CAMARILLO, Calif. (Wireless Flash) -- Would you take exercise advice from an 89-year-old health nut? You soon may not have any choice. That's because a group of health aficionados is starting a grass roots campaign to make 89-year-old Gypsy Boots the next advisor for the President's Council on Physical Fitness. Boots is best known for his appearances on 1950s and '60s-era TV talk shows and, although the "original nature boy" had his critics, he points out that "these days, they're all dead." He thinks he's better qualified than former physical fitness advisor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who smokes cigars and has had heart trouble. Boots will turn 90 on August 19 and will celebrate at Paramount Studios with a Hollywood first: a party where no one will smoke or drink.
