About this listen

Physical culture can be regarded as a philosophy, regimen or lifestyle aiming to achieve maximum physical development by exercise, diet and athletic competition. The ancient Greeks were the first to cultivate their bodies to achieve the ideal physique and use physical culture as a form of preventative medicine. This fascinating book highlights how physical culture through exercise and athletics was a fundamental aspect of ancient Greece. This book revisits some of the commonly known aspects of ancient Greece, the Olympic Games and exercise techniques comparing with modern training principles. A unique fusion of sport history and science providing the reader with a detailed knowledge of how to apply these principles to their own exercise training regimen. The lessons found in the history of the world’s best athletes are as relevant now as they were during the time of the first Olympic games. Alex Daulat’s inviting and informative approach offers insight into ancient exercise, diet, and healthy-living techniques and how it can be applied to modern health and wellness plans. It’s often nonfiction that makes history riveting, and The First Physical Culturists is a great must-read book for every history buff and fitness guru.
