Vintage Physical Culture & Strongman eBooks
Celebrating classic old-school fitness methods that have a vintage physical culture vibe, all updated for modern readers.
VINTAGE PHYSICAL CULTURE WITH A MODERN TWIST
FOCUS ON HEALTH, STRENGTH & POSITIVE SELF-IMAGE
OLD-SCHOOL STRENGTH IS MORE THAN JUST WEIGHTS
George F Jowett Strongman
Old-school weight training can come from no better source than George F Jowett, a vintage strongman famed for his strength and muscle-building workouts. Despite being the father of AMERICAN weightlifting, Jowett founded the Body Sculpture Club in England in the 1950s and It is through this club that the products in this category find their source.
Radio Taiso Exercises
Radio Taiso exercises encourage you to focus on your body and personal well-being for 3-5 minutes daily. “Tai” means body and “So” means conditioning, so these are literally Japanese body conditioning exercises. With a cool vintage physical culture vibe, these daily exercises are designed to warm the body up, raise energy levels and encourage overall good health.
Daily Dozen Exercises
Daily Dozen exercises is a vintage health and fitness term that originated with Walter Camp’s Daily Dozen program of daily exercises. It has since become a general term to mean a series of simple exercises that you can do every day to help keep you fit and healthy. We stock Camp’s original texts, along with an updated guide and some contemporary body-weight exercise plans.
