Exercised

Daniel E. Lieberman

Fitness gurus and physicians tell us that we need to exercise to keep ourselves healthy. Yet, almost none of them explains why we usually struggle to stick to exercise programs. Therefore, Professor of Evolutionary Biology Daniel Lieberman decided to explore exercising from an evolutionary and anthropological perspective. In ‘’Exercised,’’ he reveals the results of his years-long research that debunk numerous myths modern society has created about exercising. Surprisingly, the biggest of them all is that evolution has actually prepared us for it.
