Description

"How to Get Strong and How to Stay So" is a vintage guide to exercising and keeping fit by W.

Garden Blaikie. Originally written for an audience in the late nineteenth century, it contains practical explanations on why and how one should exercise, with instructions for different ways to exercise at home, callisthenics, and other forms of "rational physical exercise".

Contents include: "Do We Inherit Shapely Bodies?", "Half-Built Boys", "Will Daily Physical Exercise for Girls Pay?", "Is it Too Late for Women to Begin?", "Why Men Should Exercise Daily", "Home Gymnasiums", "The School the True Place for Children's Physical Culture", etc.

The Very Rev William Garden Blaikie (1820- 1899) was a Scottish writer, divine, biographer, and temperance reformer.

Other notable works by this author include: "Life and Reign of David" (1880), "My Body" (1883), and "Heroes of Israel" (1894).

Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.

We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
