N2  - Here the author gives us a backstage look at an industry and the people that have left an indelible mark on the American body and the consciousness it houses. With insights drawn from more than fifty interviews and attention to key developments in bodybuilding, aerobics, equipment, health clubs, running, sports medicine, group exercise, Pilates, and yoga, this book reveals how a focus on fitness has shaped not only our physiques but also, and more profoundly, American ideas of what 'fitness' is. -- From publisher description
