Princess workout - Spänsta med Birgitta

Start your day with a truly authentic princess workout! Here you can experience Swedish Princess HRH Birgitta’s 1967 fitness and weight-loss programme Spänsta med Birgitta, originally released as an LP in collaboration with the weekly magazine Husmodern. Set to lively jazz music from the gramophone, we hear the princess’s voice and her clear instructions: “Take it easy at first, don’t overexert yourselves!”

The workout is led by choreographer and director Carl Olof, who also shares stories about dance icons such as Carmen Miranda “The lady in the tutti-frutti hat” and the dance rebel Isadora Duncan. Their stories come together with the princess’s exercise programme to create an interactive workout experience exploring female ideals, the body, and movement through history.
