S1E2: Aging and exercise


Listen Later

Neeraj and Nicholas discuss the many long-term positive outcomes associated with regular physical activity. It’s a timely episode with Neeraj still coming to terms with his current physical status and Nicholas reflecting on his teenage attitudes towards public health guidance.

Despite the clear benefits, Nicholas is unsure whether he can begin and importantly maintain an exercise routine, which spurs a conversation about motivation and exercise, informed by the paper (PDF) Learning to Like Exercising: Evaluative Conditioning Changes Automatic Evaluations of Exercising and Influences Subsequent Exercising Behavior (researchgate.net).
