Cooper, MD, MPH, preventive medicine pioneer and “father of aerobics,” introduced the concept of exercising in pursuit of good health when he launched the worldwide bestseller Aerobics, in 1968. For 50 years, his scientific research and expertise has shown it’s easier to maintain good health than to regain it once it’s lost. Founder and chairman of Cooper Aerobics Center with 6 wellness companies and non-profit The Cooper Institute, Dr. Cooper is also a preventive medicine physician.
