Exercise is our modern obsession.
The way we choose to exercise can tell us so much about our culture, our ambition or our mindset.
Ancient Greeks, for example, used to discuss philosophy at their gyms and believed that the intelligence of the mind needs to be in equilibrium with the fitness of the body.
In this wonderful book, ‘Sweat: A History of Exercise’, Bill Hayes explores the different ways in which we have approached exercise throughout history.
Hayes connects his own experience to the cultural and scientific history of exercise, from ancient times to the present day.
