Exercised

Mostly choir-preaching here. I suspect most people that are not exercise-aholics know intuitively that we have a natural resistance to exercise for exercise sake.
Good coverage on the evolutionary and biological aspects.
And does reinforce, of course, that although we are resistant to exercise, it does do us a lot of good. And there is no doubting the “high” you get is part of some evolutionary goal to get us to do it more.

A watershed of compiled research, meta-analysis, and thoughtful recommendations on how to age well, live longer, and be healthy.

Lieberman's writing and advice are compelling. You might feel some hits of delight at how he goes after some myths of ‘scientific journalism' that are either poorly researched or thoroughly debunked by now.

Humans don't have a biological imperative to exercise in gyms as we do, but then again we've never been more sedentary and physically inactive. I've always exercised — aside from spells of exhaustion and... COVID-19 —, but now I have even more arguments against my own procrastination.

A crucial, must-read book for anyone that wants to fight the infirmities of old age and lead a proper human life.

Excellent writing for a science book. Lots of evidence-backed information and an engaging narrative throughout. I found myself adding unprecedented quantities of new words to my vocabulary bin, and really enjoyed the shake-up of traditional exercise advice and the evolutionary perspective. As a sedentary person in a job best described as a complete sinecure, I have certainly been inspired to exercise, but can I keep it going and turn it into a habit?
