Reviews

Endlessly fascinating and full of surprises. Lieberman strikes a perfect balance of scholarship, wit and enthusiasm for his subject. This is easily one of my books of the year
*bestselling author of The Body*

Myth-busting, illuminating, brilliant - Lieberman will completely change the way you think about your body
*presenter of Our Incredible Human Journey*

Entertaining and informative... The book is full of helpful tips - you'll build muscle faster by extending muscles under load rather than contracting them; the kind of chair you sit on doesn't matter as long as you strengthen your back muscles and move regularly - conveyed in a humorous and sympathetic style
*Guardian*

Part user manual for the human body and part detective story exploring our evolution, Exercised will change the way you think about exercise, diet and your own wellbeing
*author of Your Inner Fish*

A surprising, erudite and revelatory look at the natural history of physical activity and why exercise is both so necessary for us and so unnatural. A must-read for anyone with a working body and mind
*New York Times-bestselling author of The First 20 Minutes*

A fascinating read, and one that could nudge you toward a healthier (and longer) life
*editor of Runner's World*

Excellent - well written, amusing and touching on the lives of all who read it
*FRS*

Eye-opening, mind-expanding and potentially body-shaping
*Men's Health*

Daniel Lieberman’s work is so incredibly impressive
*Diary of a CEO*
