SIM Ep 695 Chops 235: Danielle Friedman gets physical

Ever wondered where the weird and wonderful workouts of the women’s fitness industry originated? Danielle Friedman did, which is why the journalist and author decided to research and write a book about the history of women’s fitness. In this week’s Chops, the last of January so possibly at the point at which you’re thinking of ditching any new year’s fitness resolutions, Danielle chats to Jen about Let’s Get Physical. They also talk about perceptions of women’s strength, the dismissive attitude society takes to women’s leisure pursuits, and – if you do need some inspiration to meet your fitness goals – brace yourself: Danielle gives Jen the best piece of fitness advice she’s ever heard.
