Grecian sweat, Swedish calisthenics, Indian bodybuilding- the amazing history of human exercise

When American writer and photographer Bill Hayes began researching his latest book a decade ago, little did he know the twists and turns and the parts of the world it would take him to.

Sweat: The History of Exercise charts writer Bill’s course through the gymnasiums of ancient Greece and Rome, to the rare book section of a New York library, and even had him run around naked except for his shoes!

The result is part memoir, part historical crime novel, part training.

Sweat: The History of Exercise is published by Bloomsbury.

Invited:

bill Hayes, writer, photographer, and former partner of the late neurologist Oliver Sacks.
