## Resource

What if one of the best things you could do for your health wasn't exercising harder but exercising together? Many of us are trying to solve loneliness and inactivity as separate problems when they may have a shared solution. In this episode, I make the case for social movement and why activities like walking groups, dance classes, hiking clubs, and pickleball may offer benefits that go far beyond fitness. People tend to show up more consistently when other people are involved. They enjoy it more. And they often stay with it longer. Your workout might be good for your body. The right community can be good for your whole life. Want everything in one place?
