This is Dr. George Sheehan's first film that he was involved with. Coming out in 1977, just two years after Dr. Sheehan on Running is published, this 16mm film lasts for 27 minutes and relates how the desire for fitness, which leads people to run, becomes a new lifestyle rather than just an exercise. Dr. Sheehan shares his philosophy on how play is an attitude rather than a specific activity, and how we need play to help cope with life's problems. This film was so good that it was used for many years during his speeches, even when the look had been outdated, and the content has never lost it's effectiveness. This film was originally produced in cooperation with the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports and a VHS release was later made by NVC Productions, although it is rare to find.
