Sweat : a history of exercise
Hayes, Bill, 1961-2023
Book
Exercise is our modern obsession, and we have the ubiquitous gyms, fancy workout gear, and fads from HIIT to spin classes to hot yoga to prove it. Exercise - a form of physical activity distinct from sports, play, or athletics - was an ancient obsession, too, but as a chapter in human history, it's been largely overlooked. In this book, Bill Hayes runs, jogs, swims, spins, walks, bikes, boxes, lifts, sweats, and downward-dogs his way through the origins of different forms of exercise, chronicling how they have evolved over time, dissecting the dynamics of human movement.
