You're listening to Life Kit from NPR.

Hey everybody, it's Mariel.

Before we jump into the episode,

I wanted to share some other exciting things

that Life Kit is working on for New Year's.

One of the things I love about New Year's is that it's a time to reflect and to think about

what matters to you and what your goals are.

And we want to know what you're working towards. Send us an email at life kit at npr.org

with your New Year's resolution

and we might share your response in our newsletter.

Happy New Year.

It's early January, which means a lot of us are looking to get exercising again.

And yeah, moving our bodies is incredibly important for our health, But how do you find the time?

You got to put the clothes on and then do the exercise,

which depending on the workout can feel kind of boring.

Then you got to shower.

I mean, that's a lot already.

Not to mention, you just might not always have the energy

But getting into an exercise habit doesn't have to mean doing the fanciest spin class or the most intense

weightlifting workout five times a week.

The scientific research on movement tells us there's a much gentler

more inclusive way.
