Description
Aleen is joined this week by Danielle Friedman who is an award-winning journalist and author of Let’s Get Physical: How Women Discovered Exercise and Reshaped the World. The book shares the history behind the workouts that we’re all now obsessed with, the sexualized nature of some of the moves, the women who revolutionized women’s fitness, and how clothing trends have evolved over the years (can you even imagine wearing a girdle to workout?) Throughout the ep, Danielle paints a behind-the-scenes picture of how the fitness industry has become what it is today and how we became so workout obsessed. Finally, we end by sharing our DST confessions of the week, about the most boring workout classes we’ve ever done.
