How Exercise Can Make Us Happier

When it comes to finding joy and happiness, exercise is not always top of mind but maybe it should be. Exercise benefits our physical health as well as helps to reduce anxiety, stress and symptoms of depression, yet many Americans say exercise is not something they enjoy. So where’s the disconnect? And how can people consistently reap the “feel good” benefits of exercise? Health psychologist and author of The Joy of Movement: How Exercise Helps Us Find Happiness, Hope, Connection and Courage, (kellymcgonigal.com/the-cover-s...) Kelly McGonigal (kellymcgonigal.com/about) talks with Sanjay about the why moving your body can be a source of joy and hope. And for listeners who say they don’t enjoy exercise or have limited mobility, she has some tips that might turn things around.

You gotta move, especially strenght training+walking i so benificial when getting older. Lift weights and get as many steps in as you can. You'll probably get a few more years, and years that you can enjoy, feeling good.

Set up a recumbent stationary bike at home. Set up a computer monitor so you can work on your computer and watch while you are on the bike. A board across can hold a keyboard. Sit on it always and you don't have to work out all the time. It just makes it way easier and more likely to do exercise when you feel like it.

I loved when Sanjay went on Joe Rogan and was confronted for calling Hydroxychloroquine horse dewormer. He looked down and said, Yea I don't know why they called it that.. They? It was you.

[@markcosenza3274]

A recent study from Columbia University shows liberals suffer more from depression and anxiety than conservatives. Is their a diet for that?

[@LindaC616]

I know you're desperate bc the late night shows are all on break, so you've nowhere to spew your daily hate, but here's an idea--why don't you take the time off, too?
