As the weather gets better and my semester winds down, I’m seeing more time for movement coming up. But what kind of movement? What’s the best way to spend time in physical activity? Go hard then go home? Go long and slow? Turns out, science has some guidance for us.

Here’s a post I wrote a while back about research on the comparative benefits of high-intensity interval training vs. moderate exercise. I won’t give any spoilers here; you can read it for answers. Enjoy…

I'm a feminist public health ethicist (yes, that's a thing). I'm interested in heath behavior change, particularly around eating and activity, and how things other than knowledge affect our health decisions.I'm also a cyclist (road, sort-of-off-road, commuter), regular yoga-doer, occasional swimmer and kayaker and leisurely social walker.

  1. The first was pretty easy (no spoilers here). The second would have been easy in two notes – one was pretty near impossible. I loved the game faces of the two contestants. I remember this show from my childhood – I recall people running down an aisle to ring overhead bells to get the chance to guess. I went to a camp in the 90s where we played a version of this with only Beatles songs.
