Bonnie Prudden, 1959
New England Camping Convention
This show is a wonderful look back at the life and fitness history of American fitness expert Bonnie Prudden with Bonnie’s long-time friend, colleague, and Managing Director of Myotherapy Enid Whittaker. Prudden not only was one of America’s top fitness experts from the 1940s until her passing in 2011, but is still considered by many to be the best female rock climber in the history of the sport. Prudden was one of the original members of the President’s Fitness Council under President Dwight Eisenhower, was a syndicated TV show host, appeared on The Today Show for years as their exercise expert, and discovered and founded the “Myotherapy” trigger point release technique and system now located in Tucson, AZ.
