Wege zu Kraft und Schönheit

Wege zu Kraft und Schönheit is a 1925 Ufa-Kulturfilmabteilung of Weimar Germany directed by Nicholas Kaufmann and Wilhelm Prager.

The film is an idealized approximation to the health and beauty in conformity with nature. It urged people to reform their lives by means of exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Like physical culturists before the war, the filmmakers constructed a contrast between the ancient Greek gymnasium and the German Gymnasium.
