What will be an ideal response?
Catherine Beecher devoted her efforts to promoting health and exercise for women. Her system of calisthenics was based on a physical education program structured around twenty-six lessons in physiology and two courses in calisthenics, one designed for schools and the other for exercise halls. Her system used "light exercises," sometimes performed with the use of light weights. She wanted her students to develop beautiful, strong bodies and believed her calisthenics would serve "as a mode of curing distortions, particularly all tendencies to curvature of the spine, while at the same time, it tends to promote grace of movement, and easy manners."
