This vintage book contains an illustrated guide to various exercises and simple gymnastics that can be done at home without equipment. Its contents are based on a system developed by Pehr Henrik Ling ( 1776 - 1839), who is famous for pioneering the Swedish physical education and being the father of Swedish massage. This book will be of utility to those with an interest in exercising and keeping fit at home, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Ling's Ideas on the Aim of Rational Gymnastics", "Rules for the Practice of the Elementary Exercises", "Advantages of Free Exercises Commencing", "Intermediate and Final Positions", "Time and Word of Command", "First Position", "Second Position", "Positions with Distance", "Walk Positions", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
