Happy New Year! To help you with your New Year's resolution to get in better shape,

we've got three of our top exercise related stories from Curiosity.com to help you get fit.

And we'll get through them in just a few minutes.

I'm Cody Gough.

And I'm Ashley Hamer. Today you learn why running may actually be good for your knees,

how to stretch the right way so you're less likely to hurt yourself, and some things gym Class got wrong when you were a kid.

These stories might sound familiar, but we'll be back tomorrow with brand new stories.

For now, let's exercise some curiosity.

You've probably heard that running is bad for your knees, but a growing body of research

suggests that running might not only be fine for your knees, it might actually improve your

knee health. Do you think you have healthy knees then? I have super healthy knees. This is my biggest pet peeve. My response to this is always to change the subject so people never know how I actually feel but whenever someone tells me, oh I used to run but then it was just

terrible for my knees so I stopped I want to you just can't I can't handle it I can't handle

it why don't you educate them I'm a very well actually kind of person

and I try to stop from doing that in social situations

because people don't really appreciate it.

That's tricky to be a science educator

but then also want to have friends.

That's the trick.

Okay, that's fair.

That's fair.

Thank goodness we've got this podcast for an outlet.

Oh, really? It helps a lot.
