From the author of Insomniac City 'who can tackle just about any subject in book
form, and make you glad he did' (San Francisco Chronicle): a cultural,
scientific, literary, and personal history of exercise
Exercise is our modern obsession, and we have the fancy workout gear and fads to
prove it. Exercise - a form of physical activity distinct from sports, play, or
athletics - was an ancient obsession, too, but as a chapter in human history,
it's been largely overlooked. In Sweat , Bill Hayes runs, jogs, swims, spins,
walks, bikes, boxes, lifts, sweats, and downward-dogs his way through the
origins of different forms of exercise, chronicling how they have evolved over
time, and dissecting the dynamics of human movement.
