Why have we evolved to avoid exercise? With Harvard Professor Daniel Lieberman (E263)

The High Performance Podcast

NOTE

Making Fitness Fun and Social

The speaker shares that to stay fit, they make fitness either necessary or fun by signing up for races to avoid humiliation if not trained. They run with friends for social support, using social coercion to ensure regular exercises. The speaker finds morning runs with friends initially grumpy but ends up enjoying the run and conversation. They highlight the importance of making fitness fun rather than feeling like a necessity. Additionally, they discuss the concept of nudges as gentle ways to help adults make decisions for their well-being.
