The New Year
is a time for new beginnings. In an effort to start off on the right foot, many
people resolve to change their habits for the better. Losing weight is a common
resolution, another is to increase physical exercise. Gyms and fitness centres
start filling up at the beginning of January in what has become an annual
tradition.
The line
about gyms and fitness centres probably brought a picture to mind. If you haven’t
been in one, you can probably bring a picture to mind from TV or the movies.
They are part of the western cultural background. But it wasn’t always so. The
pursuit of physical fitness for the masses is a relatively modern phenomenon.
Just what
came before?
