A journalist blends reportage and personal narrative to explore the history of women's exercise cultureâfrom jogging and Jazzercise to Jane Fondaâand how women have parlayed physical strength into other forms of power.
What The Reviewers Say
... fact-packed but bouncy.
The factoids boggle the mind, but Friedman goes further, providing a rich story for each fitness trend she examines, from jogging to Jazzercise, bodybuilding to yoga and beyond.
... reading Let’s Get Physical, I found myself craving the unthinkable: a room filled with other people, a Tina Turner CD, and a really exhausting workout.
Danielle Friedman shows the tremendous gains women have made in obtaining their right to exercise.
