WANTcast: The Women Against Negative Talk Podcast

140: Reimagining Fitness As A Revolutionary Act with Danielle Friedman (S7 Finale)

Jun 1, 2022
59:23

This time of year can bring up a lot of negative cultural messaging — and therefore negative self-talk — around bodies and working out, and while things are changing for (hopefully) the better, we’ve GOT to know where we’ve come from and how we got here so that we can get to where we truly want to be.  Danielle Friedman is an award-winning journalist and author of the critically acclaimed cultural history of women's fitness Let's Get Physical: How Women Discovered Exercise and Reshaped the World. 

From the revolutionary and sometimes radical beginnings to the intermingling of diet culture and fitness, to fitness’s place in the feminist movement, to the history of fitness shaping our self-perception — hopefully, this episode can help you get curious about movement’s place in your own life, what’s informed that, and where you’re going from here.

 

(This is also the season finale — we're taking a short summer vacay. See you in a couple months!)
