A woman is standing in a room with her arms crossed and smiling.

In this week’s podcast #49 we are joined by Dr. Michelle Segar . Dr Segar is a motivational scientist, and leads the Sport, Health, and Activity Research and Policy (SHARP) Center at the University of Michigan.

Michelle's primary mission is to help people who have struggled to stay motivated as well as the professionals who work with them.

A book titled no sweat by michelle segar

Her book No Sweat translates years of research on exercise and motivation into a simple four-point program that will empower you to break the cycle of exercise failure once and for all.

You’ll discover why you should forget about willpower and stop gritting your teeth through workouts you hate. Instead, you’ll become motivated from the inside out and start to crave physical activity. You’ll be hooked!

Practical, proven, and loaded with inspiring stories, No Sweat makes getting fit easier and more fun than you ever imagined.

TAKU’s NOTE: T.N.T. and Dr. Segar agree that there is real value, and health benefits from behaviors like obtaining enough quality sleep and embracing an active lifestyle. Her research suggests that people are more likely to  sustain  health behaviors if they understand that they are essential to their daily lives. So stop looking for that perfect parking space…A little extra walking will do you some good.
