The footage captures young women performing a series of coordinated movements, including ankle exercises, leg raises and stretching routines, reflecting the growing interest in physical fitness and women’s health during the early 20th century. The Women’s League of Health and Beauty promoted accessible exercise and wellbeing for women across Britain, encouraging strength, posture and healthy living through group activity.
