Description
Exercised: The Science of Physical Activity, Rest and Health
Endlessly fascinating and full of surprises, this book reveals the myth-busting science behind our modern attitudes to exercise. Daniel Lieberman explores what our bodies really need, why it matters, and its effects on health and wellbeing.
Discover how our sedentary lifestyles have contributed to rising rates of obesity and disease, and how our bodies were designed for moderate exertion throughout each day, not intense physical activity. Lieberman debunks persistent myths and provides eye-opening insights from evolutionary biology and anthropology, pointing the way towards more enjoyable and physically active living.
