Hey everyone. Welcome back to Lifespan. I'm so excited for you to hear this episode. I actually recorded it with the team very late at night after being in the lab all day, and the team was amazing. This episode, part two of physical activity and exercise, explores exactly why physical activity is so good for us. What you might not see on camera is how Marissa, our Chief of Staff, really showed us men how the Sitting-Rising Test is actually done properly. We're going to talk about it in the episode, but off-camera, we were trying to see who was best at it, and it was awesome to see her do it so easily, but honestly, it was pretty embarrassing for us guys, including Andrew and Rajeev here.
Why Does Exercise Help You Live Longer
Sometimes it just takes me reading a powerful new paper on the science of exercise to nudge me to get off my butt even more.
