June 5, 2026The favorite exercise system of Franz Kafka. Not sure yet if that's a pro or con.

A very early home workout book (with some of the earliest renditions of pushups and situps, before those even had names!). Some good advice, some silly stuff, and I suspect still generally useful for a lot of people

Waste of money
Terrible book, don’t waste your money poorly presented and looks like someone just snapped pictures of original. Not even clearly. A disgrace to true readers.
