Forever Chic

Chapter Six:
Exercise? Bien Sur!
La Femme Française Formula:
Fitness For the Fun of It
 
It is a common notion that French women don’t exercise. According to Tish Jett, the author of “Forever Chic”, this is not true. Exercise classes are extremely popular in France. Pilates, yoga, tai chi and aquagym classes are are all very well-attended. Women of all ages are even taking up jogging. 
 
French women do, however, prefer an element of fun in their efforts to keep fit. Biking, walking, skiing, tennis, golf…these are activities which provide the French woman with exercise as well as a dose of fresh air, something considered to be very important. 

“Aeration is part of the French esthetic, another aspect of taking good care of oneself.”

One thing the French seem to do better than Americans is simply including more movement in their day-to-day life. The government gets in on the act, too. Along with messages about teaching your children not to snack between meals, the word “Bouger!” (Move!) is periodically flashed on the bottom of the television screen. It would seem that the French, as a culture, take health seriously and aren’t offended by government efforts to encourage healthy eating and exercise. If only that were true in America.
