Exercised: The Science of Physical Activity, Rest and Health by Daniel E. Lieberman
5.0
Exercised is a great comprehensive book about the science of exercising separated into 4 main parts. Lieberman starts off by talking about how we evolved to not want to exercise, following by explaining how humans are different in strength, speed and power compared to other species. And then moving onto talking about how humans are uniquely built for endurance and then finishing off by talking about exercising in the modern wold and even giving some advice on how to approach it!
There is a lot of bad information about what you should eat and how you should exercise out there on the internet, I wouldn't trust most of it if I tried to research it online. Therefore when I saw Liberman's book, I though this would be a great place to learn about scientific research about exercising and I wasn't wrong!
My only issue with the book was that I felts some chapters were a bit too long and some stuff felt kind of repetitive but generally I found the book to be well structured with loads of subheadings to make each section clear.
Overall, Exercised is super informational and would recommend it to anyone with even the slightest interest in the topic.
