Live the Austen life with this silly, irreverent illustrated book of twenty-five “workouts” inspired by the world of Jane Austen.

The characters of Jane Austen live a spirited and active lifestyle—from taking turns about the room to walking (or running) through the grounds of a potential suitor’s estate, scribbling countless hastily written letters, and chasing wayward sisters at country balls.


Playing off of the tropes found in Austen’s books and beyond, each of the 25 workouts includes gorgeous illustrated scenes and step-by-step instructions, a quote from one of Austen’s beloved novels, a list of benefits to be had from performing these exercises, and helpful(ish) guidance.


The Jane Austen Workout Plan includes exercise circuit suggestions based on a selection of popular Austen books which allows you to model a day of workouts around titles like Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility, and more. What these workouts lack in earnestness they make up for in amusement, perfect for gifting and receiving. Even if you don’t get ripped, you’ll certainly have a laugh!
