BITESIZE | What Hunter-Gatherers Can Teach Us About Movement, Exercise and Ageing Well | Professor Daniel Lieberman #624

Why do we find it so hard to exercise despite knowing how good it is for us?

Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.

Today’s clip is from episode 514 of the podcast with Professor of Biological Science and Professor in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University, Daniel Lieberman.

Daniel is the author of the brilliant book Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved To Do is Healthy and Rewarding.

In this clip, he reveals a fascinating truth: we didn’t evolve to exercise, but movement is key to living well. He challenges some common beliefs that exist around exercise and we discuss simple, practical ways of building sustainable movement habits into our daily lives.
