The Embodiment Podcast

Exercise scientist Mike joins me to discuss why we might all want to do weight training, what makes us attractive, virtue and the gym, the psychological impact of weight training, anxiety, agency, humility, the high of working out, can the gym be addictive, the negatives of exercise, compensation, an “exercise pill”, what’s it like being a man, and getting cancelled. A wonderful deep dive into exercise psychology.
