    Overcoming Barriers to Exercise

    In this episode Kjersti and Kristi discuss common barriers to exercise as well as tips to overcome those barriers!  If you listen long enough you'll also hear about some of the benefits to mental health that come from exercise.  We start the show discussing our book clubs, and end the show talking about our current tv show watching.  To get you started with thinking about your own personal barriers to exercise, you might start with the questions: How much time can I commit? What times of day can I commit?  Are the people in my life supportive of any exercise plans I make? Mentioned in this episode: The Joy of Movement by Kelly McGonigal The Joy Run Club (Kjersti's run group) Breathe by James Nestor Social Justice Parenting by Dr Traci Baxley Suzy Reading, psychologist @suzyreading North by Scott Jurek and the concept of "nickel and diming" exercise. Quote by Nietzsche, "We listen to music with our muscles."
