[edit] Removed material

The following is probably ad-spam, and in any case is so far out of balance that a balanced article of reasonable size would require its removal.

In Australia, Hans Bjelke-Petersen founded the Bjelke-Petersen School of Physical Culture in Hobart in 1892. As of 2005, there are 180 clubs throughout Australia. This version of physical culture is generally performed by girls and women and is a combination of gymnastics, ballet, and aerobics. 2005 also saw the re-introduction of physical culture to boys ages 5-9 years.

Physical culture in 2006 has expanded into South Australia and Western Australia and is experiencing significant growth in Victoria.

Both a team and individual sport physie provides young women with:

good posture fitness strength flexibility balance co-ordination self-discipline confidence

In 2005 BJP physical culture introduced a Boy's Fitness Program for boys aged 5-12.

[edit] Swedish method/Method?

Would anyone know what this is? The Georges Hébert article mentions a 'swedish method' as a form of physical culture. I am unable to find any mention of a swedish method in this article. Such a thing probably doesn't deserve its own article at this point, but would be better redirected here and mentioned as one form of physical culture. Even if it becomes larger that is okay, as this article is pretty small. Having one section about one form of physical culture overwhelming the article would be good for it because it would encourage people knowledgeable of other forms of physical culture to contribute to sections about that. Physical culture is very expansive, especially when you consider the old time strongman books written which fall under the label, and having a more comprehensive article about it would be very valuable to readers interested in fitness, and in collecting references to the strongmen and their writings together.
