Turner Wand Exercise
This video is one of a series of films by the Edison Studio using athletes from the local Newark Turnverein as subjects. It was filmed in 1894.
This traditional exercise has regained popularity as an excellent way to stretch muscles without weight stress. Try it with a broomstick if you don’t have a wand handy.
