The Healing Power of Exercise
This the ideal episode for any active people looking for more reasons to get outside and get moving! The guest, Julia Hotz, is a journalist, marathon runner, and the author of The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging. Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Amanda Loudin, she details:
-the mood-boosting effects of being active in nature;
-the health benefits of hobbies;
-the importance of doing what matters to you;
-an argument for not multi-tasking; and,
-an Rx for a best running friend.
Before the guest joins around 10:54, the hosts swap stories about their recent open-water swimming exploits, including Amanda’s in a 57-degree (13 Celsius) pond in London!
