Requests:  0 Summary:  "This highly engaging landmark work, a natural history of exercise--by the author of the best seller The Story of the Human Body--seeks to answer a fundamental question: were you born to run or rest? The first three parts of Exercised roughly follow the evolutionary story of human physical activity and inactivity, even as each chapter shatters a particular myth about exercise. Because we cannot understand physical activity without understanding its absence, Part One begins with physical inactivity. What are our bodies doing when we take it easy, including when we sit or sleep? Part Two explores physical activities that require speed, strength, and power, such as sprinting, lifting, and fighting. Part Three surveys physical activities that involve endurance, such as walking, running, or dancing, as well as their effect on aging. Part Four considers how anthropological and evolutionary approaches can help us exercise better in the modern world. How can we more effectively manage to exercise, and in what ways? To what extent, how, and why do different types and durations of exercise help prevent or treat the major diseases that are likely to make us sick and kill us? --   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 612.044 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 612.044 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 612.044 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 612.044 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 612.044 Lieberman Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 612.044 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 612.044 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 612.044 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 612.044 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 612.044 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList
