"How to Get Strong and How to Stay So" by William Blaikie is a health and fitness guide written in the late 19th century. The book emphasizes the importance of physical exercise and education for maintaining a strong and healthy body, particularly in an age when many individuals lead sedentary lifestyles. Blaikie aims to encourage readers, particularly those growing up in urban settings, to take responsibility for their physical health through systematic exercise and proper body care. The opening of the book discusses the physical shortcomings prevalent among men and women, especially those living in cities. Blaikie observes that many individuals lack proper physical training, leading to poor posture and unbalanced muscle development. He points out the urgent need for daily exercise and proper physical culture to correct inherited weaknesses and ensure a healthier future for individuals and, by extension, society as a whole. This introduction sets the tone for a comprehensive exploration of physical fitness, aiming to inspire readers to take action in strengthening their bodies and improving their overall health.
