Author Polina Kanis
Author examines fitness and aerobics exercises in parks around Moscow today, a strange hybrid of totalitarian sports aesthetics, pop cultural new age readings, and the democratic soviet ideal of harmonic physical development. The older people in the background of the recently restored rotunda in Neskuchny Garden warm up under the guidance of a young fitness instructor.
