Summary

Today, we interview Professor Dan Lieberman all about why exercise doesn't have to be so stressful or complicated. This is a look at exercise through the anthropological perspective, and why it’s normal to not "feel like it" sometimes. Find out the answers to questions like: Is sitting actually that bad for you? How much do we need to exercise? Is there such a thing as exercising too much, and more.

Professor Lieberman’s book Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding
