1858 Exercises Gymnase Gymnastics System
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past of family life and physical fitness in France during the late 19th century. The image, titled "French Family Exercising at Home with the Gymnase Pichery System, 1858," showcases a devoted family engaging in a daily routine of gymnastic exercises using the innovative Gymnase Pichery system. The Gymnase Pichery was a popular and progressive fitness regimen that originated in France during the mid-1800s. The system, developed by French educator and gymnastics pioneer, Clément Pichery, emphasized the importance of physical activity and flexibility for people of all ages. The Gymnase Pichery system consisted of a series of simple yet effective exercises, designed to be performed at home, that could be adapted to suit various fitness levels and abilities. In this photograph, we see a loving French family of four, including two parents and their two children, gathered around their living room, diligently practicing their Gymnase Pichery exercises. The father, wearing a waistcoat and trousers, assists his wife, who wears a long skirt and blouse, as they perform a balancing pose. Their eldest child, a young boy, stands confidently on one foot, while his younger sister, dressed in a frilly dress, practices a bending exercise. The family's dedication to their health and fitness is evident in their focused expressions and the harmony of their poses. This photograph is a testament to the enduring importance of family, health, and the pursuit of physical fitness throughout history. The Gymnase Pichery system, although no longer in use today, serves as a reminder of the innovative and progressive approaches to health and wellness that have shaped our past and continue to inspire us in the present.
