Excerpt from A Military System of Gymnastic Exercises and a System of Swimming: Prepared Under the Instruction of the Superintendent, for the Use of the Cadets of the United States Military Academy and Military Colleges In the preparation of this Course of Gymnastics, I have endeavored to meet a long felt want in the Corps of Cadets at the United States Military Academy. It has also been my aim, by briefing and generalizing, to make the work suitable for a text book in the Army and the various Military Academies, covering, as it does, that course of training which, taken in connection with the school of the soldier, is essential to the proper training of all soldiers. I have purposely avoided separating the exercises on the various machines into times and motions, in order that the instructor might introduce such additional exercises and variations as seem to him most proper. Those explained in the text are deemed sufficient to call into play all the muscles and parts of the body; but it is expected that the instructor will frequently make additions for the sake of greater variety, and in so doing, or when confining himself to the text, he can readily divide the exercises into the proper motions. I wish to publicly acknowledge my indebtedness to the work of Messrs. Ravenstein and Hully, for much of the substance of the text and many illustrations taken from original designs. I am likewise indebted to "Maclaren's Gymnastics," the English work, "Walker's Manly Sports," and a few other works of reference. It is hoped that the manner in which the subject is treated will enable the classes to make rapid progress in one of the most important branches of their instruction.

Emerging in colonial India, the fitness fad that was Indian Club Swinging became a global exercise practice in the early 19th century. Used by physicians, soldiers, gymnasts, children and athletes alike, clubs were used to solve numerous social concerns and ills, and often prescribed to treat everything from depression to spinal abnormalities. This book provides a definitive account of the rise and spread of club swinging as it spread from India to Europe and America, asking why and how it became so popular. Discussing the global, commercial fitness culture of the 19th century, Indian Club Swinging and the Birth of Global Fitness explores how the popularity of this exercise reflected much deeper global and domestic concerns about body image, military preparation and education. Addressing broader questions about nationalism, gender, race and popular commerce across the British Empire, it highlights the origins of our modern transnational fitness culture and shows how it intersected with global and colonial understandings of health, medicine and education.

Physical training in the US Army has a surprisingly short history. Bodies for Battle by Garrett Gatzemeyer is the first in-depth analysis of the US Army’s particular set of practices and values, known as its physical culture, that emerged in the late nineteenth century in response to tactical challenges and widespread anxieties over diminishing masculinity. The US Army’s physical culture assumed a unity of mind and body; learning a physical act was not just physical but also mental and social. Physical training and exercise could therefore develop the whole individual, even societies. Bodies for Battle is a study of how the US Army developed modern, scientific training methods in response to concerns about entering a competitive imperial world where embodied nations battled for survival in a Social Darwinist framework. This book connects social and cultural worries about American masculinity and manliness with military developments (strategic, tactical, technological) in the early twentieth century, and it links trends in the United States and the US Army with larger trans-Atlantic trends. Bodies for Battle presents new perspectives on US civil-military relations, army officers’ unease with citizen armies, and the implications of compulsory military service. Gatzemeyer offers a deeply informed historical understanding of physical training practices in the US Army, the reasons why soldiers exercise the way they do, and the influence of physical culture’s evolution on present-day reform efforts. Between the 1880s and the 1950s, the Army’s set of practices and values matured through interactions between combat experience, developments in the field of physical education, institutional outsiders, application beyond the military, and popular culture. A persistent tension between discipline and group averages on one hand and maximizing the individual warrior’s abilities on the other manifested early and continues to this day. Bodies for Battle also builds on earlier studies on sport in the US military by highlighting historical divergences between athletics and disciplinary and combat readiness impulses. Additionally, Bodies for Battle analyzes applications of the Army’s physical culture to wider society in an effort to “prehabilitate” citizens for service.
