You're listening to life kit from NPR.
Hey, everybody, it's Marielle.
Before we jump into the episode, I wanted to share some other exciting things that life Kit is working on for New Year's.
One of the things I love about New Year's is that it's a time to reflect and to think about what matters to you and what your goals are.
And we want to know what you're working towards.
Send us an email@lifekitt.org with your New Year's resolution, and we might share your response in our newsletter.
Happy New Year.
It's early January, which means a lot of us are looking to get exercising again.
And, yeah, moving our bodies is incredibly important for our health.
But how do you find the time?
You got to put the clothes on and then do the exercise, which, depending on the workout, can feel kind of boring.
Then you gotta shower.
I mean, that's a lot already.
Not to mention you just might not always have the energy.
But getting into an exercise habit doesn't have to mean doing the fanciest spin class or the most intense weightlifting workout five times a week.
The scientific research on movement tells us there's a much gentler, more inclusive way.
On this episode of Life Kit, how to get started with exercising.
NPR science correspondent Maria Godoy is going to teach us to love exercise, or at least like it enough to actually do it.
She'll go over tactics to help you bust through the barriers that are keeping you from starting or restarting an exercise habit.
The good news is it's easier than you think.
