Exercise is an obvious component of living a healthy lifestyle. Yet, despite how important and well-known the importance of exercise is, it is still very often misunderstood and its effects marginalized. In this episode, Ragav dives into exercise from multiple perspectives including a definition, the guidelines in the face of the sedentary lifestyle epidemic, types of exercise, and how exercise can be made more accessible.
This episode also discusses the relatively novel concept of exercise as an independent beneficial activity rather than it being attached to weight-loss as it traditionally is. Let us know what you think of this shorter format episode!
