Harvard Scientist Says Exercise Isn’t Natural—It’s a Modern Invention We Made Up. But Here’s Why You Should Still Do It… Especially After 40

Harvard evolutionary biologist Daniel Lieberman reveals that exercise is a modern invention, not a natural instinct.

He challenges common health myths—from the eight-hour sleep rule to the perceived dangers of sitting and running.

His research shows small, frequent movements and proper technique can protect your joints and boost longevity.

Turning 40? Movement becomes even more crucial for maintaining muscle, preventing disease, and staying independent.

Forget 10,000 steps or crash workouts: start small, make it social, and watch activity become rewarding.
