Aug 23, 2025 #oldschoolbodybuilding #sports #bodybuilding
The Forgotten Bodybuilder Who Made America Lift! What if the secret to staying strong for life came down to one simple habit? George Eiferman — Mr. America 1948, Mr. Universe 1962 — discovered it during World War II, and it carried him from the Navy to Hollywood, where he trained stars like Elvis Presley and Sylvester Stallone.
He didn’t just win titles. He inspired a generation — touring schools, military bases, and gyms, proving that lifting weights wasn’t just for champions… it was for everyone. He was called “the man who made America lift.”
This is the untold story of George Eiferman — the forgotten bodybuilder who changed fitness forever.

The LIE of Fitness Elitism - Fitness Belongs to EVERYBODY​

Aug 28, 2025
In this video, I explain why fitness truly is “for everyone.” That is to say, it’s something that all of us should pursue and that can benefit literally anyone. Being fit simply allows you to do all the things you enjoy doing more easily. It can help you avoid illness, reduce pain, live longer. It can improve your career, your love life, and your confidence. It helps you to feel freer in your body.
This is something worth highlighting, as social media paints a very particular picture when it comes to fitness - as having ripped abs, massive biceps, or toned glutes. This is all great but it’s not appealing for everyone. Not everyone loves the gym, or wants a cover-model body. And that’s no problem: because fitness comes in many forms. Fitness can mean walking, it can mean swimming, or it can mean taking up a sport. You don’t need a gym membership, you don’t need dumbbells, and anyone can start. You just need to move!
Finally, I also wanted this video to serve as a counterpoint to some of the less inclusive comments made by bigger creators. This has a toxic effect on the community as a whole and it turns people away from fitness. We’ve all seen videos about the “fitness to fascism pipeline.” It’s not a great look… So, let’s try and get some more positive vibes going and bring as many people on board as we can!

The history of a habit: jogging as a palliative to sedentariness in 1960s America​

Abstract​

This article provides an account of the emergence of jogging as mass physical fitness practice in America in the 1960s. It explores how jogging was configured as a physical fitness activity suitable for sedentary middle-aged men and women. Jogging developed as a counter to the ill-effects of habits entrained by the increasingly sedentary lifestyles of modern industrialized urban and suburban dwellers. The paper traces the development of jogging as a defined exercise routine at the University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon. Focusing on the moment when jogging is ‘invented’ as a recognizable fitness practice tells a great deal about the origin of contemporary regimes of physical fitness for the middle-aged population and how they have evolved. It also points to the significance of understanding how the shaping of corporeal habits play into the making of (1) individual bodies, (2) common practices of corporeal care and activity, and (3) environments of physical activity.
