I found this a really enjoyable read! It’s certainly not a definitive history of exercise nor even what I’d call a popular history—it’s not a book for study, I think. It’s much more personal and I would say conversational—like you meet up with an acquaintance for drinks and he tells you about a book he’s been working on and some of the main points and his personal connections to it and the process of writing it, that’s very much what this book feels like.
