Sweat: A History of Exercise by Bill Hayes

2.0

This book it NOT a history of exercise. Rather, it's a story of an author writing a book on the history of exercise. Well over half the book is stories about the author researching exercise's history (not actual history) or the author's reflections and memories of exercise in his own life. The history portions are so brief and selective, that you do not even get a good, comprehensive overview of the history of exercise. The author seems to be a good writer, I just wish he had written a history book. Not recommended.
