Synopsis
The health benefits associated with regular physical activity are well documented. Unfortunately, most people do not meet physical activity guidelines. In this podcast, Dr. Johnson discusses ideas for getting more people to move more often. Helping people develop movement playgrounds seems to hold more legitimate promise for getting and keeping people moving than telling people to exercise solely for health benefits. Dr. Johnson provides explanation and analysis of the movement playground concept.
