273. When Hard Workouts Make Us Sedentary + How to Walk Our Way Out of That Cycle!
Manage episode 472140356 series 2794608
Your body might be fighting against you when you push too hard in exercise, activating powerful compensatory mechanisms that can undermine your goals. In this eye-opening episode, we cover the critical "compensation theory of exercise" that reveals why high-intensity workouts often lead to less overall activity and compromised metabolic health. Brad Kearns, co-author of Born to Walk, makes a compelling case for walking as not merely another exercise option but a fundamental human necessity—as essential as sleep—supporting everything from brain health to hormonal balance. So many good insight today!
