The Whirlabout (1930)

A physical fitness machine is demonstrated - a “health wheel“. A woman stands strapped into a contraption which then rotates. It is a kind of gyroscope. We see the woman turned every which way on the gizmo. We see her from a low angle, as she spins upside down she takes her hands from the handles. Different exercises are demonstrated - looks like a great way to keep fit. Paper records state that this was an item in Eve’s Film Review issue 482 but this may be incorrect.
