Earlier designs of this patch. See all outdated insignia.
The patch depicts a pair of clubs or meels that are a type of exercise equipment used for developing strength. The wooden clubs are of varying sizes and weights, which were swung in certain patterns as part of a carefully choreographed routine and in unison by a group of exercisers, led by an instructor in front, similar to modern aerobics classes. Clubs ranged from a few pounds to fifty pounds. Physical Culture was changed to Physical Fitness in 1963.
