Based on a high number of in-depth interviews and three case studies, the article analyses and reconstructs the role of body practices in everyday experience of the working and rural classes in Poland. Contrary to what the self-help and media discourse might indicate, practices aimed at paying attention to one’s body and staying fit are not fixed points on the agenda of the working and rural classes, structuring the narrative of their everyday life. Their relationship to the body is dominated by work which is often directly connected with the body (physical work, providing care to someone). The study confirms earlier findings in this area according to which certain lifestyle elements cannot be analyzed in terms of “free choice”. Instead, they should be explored taking into account the inequalities that exist in the distribution of economic resources, workload and working conditions, as well as access to knowledge and health-care infrastructure.
