About

If exercise is healthy why do so many people dislike it? If we are born to walk and run, why do most of us take it easy whenever possible? And how do we make sense of all the conflicting, confusing, anxiety-provoking information about rest, physical activity and exercise? Is sitting really the new smoking? Can you lose weight by walking? Does running ruin your knees?

Join our conversation on December 18 at 3 pm with Professor Daniel Lieberman, Human Evolutionary Biologist at Harvard University who has written a new book entitled EXERCISED: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding.

The notion of exercise is modern, weird and unpleasant, so the best way to do more is to find something you enjoy.

When: Dec 18, 2020 03:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
Topic: “EXERCISED: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and  Rewarding”
