Fit For Consumption
Fitness today is not simply about health clubs and exercise classes, or measures of body mass index and cardiovascular endurance. This book offers a comprehensive socio-cultural and historical analysis of the fitness culture. It utilizes the US fitness field as a case study to explore the place of the body in contemporary consumer culture.
