Easy, Evidence-Based Hacks for Fitness | Marielle Segarra

Including: "exercise snacking," prioritizing play, and overcoming "revenge bedtime procrastination."

Marielle Segarra is a reporter and the host of NPR's Life Kit, the award-winning podcast and radio show that shares trustworthy, nonjudgmental tips that help listeners navigate their lives.

In this episode we talk about:

• How and why Marielle got interested in this stuff
• Exercise and sleep tips that Marielle has incorporated into her own life.
• Something called, "revenge bedtime procrastination" – and how to work with it
• Some key learnings from Marielle's experience with cancer
• The link between fitness and play—and why play is so important for human flourishing
• How to assess how much play you're getting and tips for getting more of it
• The very subtle but important question of letting go of outcomes—in other words, not pursuing all of this stuff with so much of an agenda— and actually enjoying the process
