Description
Why do many people dislike or avoid exercise, despite its numerous health benefits? In "Exercised", Daniel E. Lieberman sets out to revolutionize our understanding of physical activity and challenge the conventional wisdom surrounding exercise.
Lieberman, a professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard University, explores how humans evolved to engage in necessary physical activities like walking and running, but not necessarily for health or enjoyment. He draws on his own research and experiences from around the world to explain why we need to rethink our approach to exercise and physical activity.
This engaging book offers a fresh perspective on the importance of movement and how it can be rewarding and healthy. Lieberman's unique blend of scholarship, wit, and enthusiasm makes "Exercised" an entertaining and enlightening read that also provides constructive advice for those looking to become more active.
