Daily Training

"Daily Training" by E. F. (Edward Frederic) Benson is an early 20th-century guide to health and fitness, advocating for wellbeing through simple daily routines, exercise, and food choices. It promotes the idea that everyone can control their health through methods that are both practical and easy to implement. The authors, despite leading different lives, suggest that various approaches can result in similar levels of wellness. The book's opening introduces the concept of health management through the authors sharing their viewpoints. They encourage balancing lifestyle elements like food and activity, and they point out that standard training often ignores individual differences. They argue against being too focused on specialized exercises, and encourage a wider view of fitness, where everyone can find a fun, workable way to stay healthy. The writers aim for their advice to improve not only physical strength also mental and moral qualities, arguing for a complete approach to health.
