Bernarr Macfadden – A Legend of Fitness
Posted on August 16th, 2009 in Legends Of Fitness
| The self proclaimed Father of Physical Culture. An eccentric fitness-minded entrepreneur who would have been 141 years old today was he not so remarkably stubborn by dying of a urinary tract infection after denying medical treatment at the age of 87. It was a shoddy vaccination that nearly killed him in his early adolescence which gave Bernarr a life long disdain for doctors and obsession for expanding his knowledge of physical culture. All the latest fitness trends that are buzzing around the Internet such as intermittent fasting and milk diets were all being perfected by Macfadden over one hundred years ago. |  |
