122: The Dangers Of NOT Exercising

I’ll be speaking at Miami University on November 14th, gearing up for that event I’d like to share this episode of the Reframe podcast from the College of Education, Health and Society on the campus of Miami university in Oxford, Ohio.

Everybody knows that exercise is good. But that is not the whole story. It’s not just that exercise is good. It’s also that NOT exercising is actually so much worse. A general lack of physical activity can lead to many diseases and even cancer.

So in this episode, we speak with Kyle Timmerman and Kevin Ballard. Two accomplished experience science researchers who have just been named Fellows in the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). Their work explores the mechanisms behind exercise science and how living a much healthier life might not actually be that hard for most people.
