Debunking exercise myths, promoting enjoyable, active living.
2021

Editors' note

Find out the science behind modern exercise attitudes in “Exercised,” a groundbreaking book that challenges misconceptions about physical activity and its effects on health and wellbeing. Author Daniel Lieberman, a leading scientific expert, reveals that humans never evolved to exercise, but rather for moderate exertion throughout the day.

Drawing on insights from evolutionary biology and anthropology, Lieberman examines how exercise promotes health, dispels myths about sitting, speed, strength, and endurance, and offers a path towards more enjoyable, physically active living in today’s world.

“Exercised” dives into the effects of our sedentary lifestyles on obesity and disease rates, while addressing the challenges we face in staying fit. This eye-opening book will change the way you think about your body and help you better understand the connection between physical activity, health, and modern living.
