Summary

British Pathe synopsis: Story about exercise wheels, called "health wheels". First shot shows several of these health wheels being used in the open air. They are propelled along grass by two bodies. Rather bizarre. We then see a different version where one person is splayed "starfish" style inside a wheel, attached by their feet and hands. The wheel rotates. Various shots of girls exercising in these gyroscope type wheels.
