Imagine a ground breaking new medicine, that taken once a day could make you live a longer and happier life.

 

Not only that, it would dramatically reduce your chances of getting sick from nearly every known disease.

Chris calls this the "Exercise Happiness Paradox."

 

In this popular presentation, Chris explains why we all fall foul to the exercise happiness paradox at times, how to avoid falling into the "comparison trap," the real reasons we should be exercising, and four strategies to help us get the most out our exercise regimes, and our lives.
