Why Working Out Isn't Working Out - TED Talk

Why Working Out Isn't Working Out 

Darryl Edwards - TEDx TALK Royal Tunbridge Wells

For all its health benefits if exercise came in pill form, we would only be too eager to take our medicine. But is working-out as medicine too difficult a pill for the majority of us to swallow?

By understanding that nature has hard-wired us to hate exercise, but encourages us to love movement, we can examine our attitudes to exercise.

If working out isn’t working out, what should we do instead?

Darryl Edwards is a play advocate, movement coach and author of the April 2018 best-selling book Animal Moves.
