Easily one of my books of the year' BILL BRYSON\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe myth-busting science behind our modern attitudes to exercise: what our bodies really need, why it matters, and its effects on health and wellbeing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Myth-busting, illuminating, brilliant - Lieberman will completely change the way you think about your body' Professor ALICE ROBERTS, presenter of Our Incredible Human Journey\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52904382333237,"sku":"EB_SC0400_J21-23_DUBAI","price":93.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/7773\/1381\/files\/9780141986364-1_1a2ebc6a-a947-4622-8104-c65fc3d5ccb0.jpg?v=1792206793","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.ae\/products\/9780141986364","provider":"Books Kinokuniya UAE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
