About Exercised

Daniel E. Lieberman considers physical activity through evolution and anthropology. He explores why exercise can feel unnatural in modern life and how human history helps explain the relationship among movement, rest, health, and motivation.

Why I include it

Movement makes more sense in context than as a single optimization program for everyone. Exercised offers that wider view of the body and physical activity.
