Let’s Get Physical: How Women Discovered Exercise and Reshaped the World with Journalist Danielle Friedman

Do you remember Jazzercise, the Jane Fonda Workout, the ThighMaster? How about a time when the sports bra didn’t exist? Journalist Danielle Friedman, author of “Let's Get Physical: How Women Discovered Exercise and Reshaped the World,” shares a fascinating look at the evolution of the women’s exercise movement from “scandalous” into a multibillion-dollar juggernaut and cultural force. We get into diet culture, the birth of commodified wellness, forgotten fitness trailblazers, and exercise fads best relegated to the dustbin of history. Plus, the benefits of group workouts for women as they age.SHOW NOTES + TRANSCRIPT:acertainagepod.comFOLLOW A CERTAIN AGE: Instagram Facebook LinkedIn GET INBOX INSPO: Sign up for our newsletter AGE BOLDLY We share new episodes, giveaways, links we live, and midlife resources LIKE BOOKS?
