Krátky popis
'Endlessly fascinating and full of surprises. Easily one of my
books of the year' BILL BRYSONThe myth-busting science behind our
modern attitudes to exercise: what our bodies really need, why it
matters, and its effects on health and wellbeing. In industrialized
nations, our sedentary lifestyles have contributed to skyrocketing
rates of obesity and diseases like diabetes.A key remedy, we are
told, is exercise - voluntary physical activity for the sake of
health. However, most of us struggle to stay fit, and our attitudes
to exercise are plagued by misconceptions, finger-pointing and
anxiety. But, as Daniel Lieberman shows in Exercised, the first
book of its kind by a leading scientific expert, we never evolved
to exercise.We are hardwired for moderate exertion throughout each
day, not triathlons or treadmills. Drawing on over a decade of
high-level scientific research and eye-opening insights from
evolutionary biology and anthropology, Lieberman explains precisely
how exercise can promote health, debunks persistent myths about
sitting, speed, strength and endurance, and points the way towards
more enjoyable and physically active living in the modern world.
'Myth-busting, illuminating, brilliant - Lieberman will completely
change the way you think about your body' Professor ALICE ROBERTS,
presenter of Our Incredible Human Journey
