My guest is Dr. Kelly McGonigal. She's a Stanford psychologist, award winning science writer and the author of multiple international best-selling books, including her most recent, The Joy of Movement: How Exercise Helps Us Find Happiness, Hope, Connection and Courage.
This conversation is all about movement; why movement is essential for our brains, our bodies, and our relationships. We’ve all heard how important movement is for our physical health but actually, in so many ways, I think we have undersold movement. Kelly shares some amazing insights and science about movement, which you may have never heard before.

You got me think about something in my routine. I hate gyms. But I rollerblade in park 3 times a week for 2-2.5 hours. And I always have music in my ears. Sometimes I do a little dance as I am passing ppl jogging, running or so…I always get them smiling. And it also makes me feel good that I put smile on someone’s face. Good mood is contagious for real.
Wow. She really nailed something I've been contemplating. I'm a farmer and super busy during the growing season. I feel healthy and so alive during this time. Constantly working and moving. When winter comes on and I get holed up in the house, I get so depressed. Life loses meaning and sense of purpose. I get incredibly bored. I got a treadmill in January. Simply getting on for a brisk 15 minute walk to music was just the medicine I needed to get through.
Fantastic podcast!

Sunlight or Daylight Light Bulbs help a lot during the Winter months too! Helps with Serotonin production. 🌞
I so agree, the 30 minutes I spend every single day on the treadmill is the best part of my day! I get both physically AND mentally stronger as a result. Wonderful stress reducer! I am now 70, and this is my 7th year doing this.
Get a bike
Having tried gyms, trackers, etc...nothing like that works to motivate me, BORING!
Just staying active taking care of my life is how I stay fit. Took an ACTIVE part-time job = $
DOING as much around my home MYSELF,
and doing FUN things as often as possible, etc. etc.
It helps me feel happy & keeps me from overeating too.
Excersice is punishment for enjoying life. Spot on. That is exactly how I feel
Rangan! Great podcast, but your thumbnails can be very clickbaity. The quick descriptions are usually not exactly what they are saying. Other than that I've learned a ton from the cast thank you!
Gym,exercise,plus clean diet works period!
Just finished 'The Joy of Movement'! All of her books have changed me.
That dancing perception was brilliant. 👍👍👍
Upward spiral. Love it
Another valuable discussion; thank you Dr Rangan and Ms McGonigal.
i needed this, thank you
so awesome. a great reminder that i am on the right track. so glad to leave the tv, etc to some time in the future.
Love this! I really enjoy learning so I pair my running with your podcasts. I feel I’m growing my body and mind this way.
I really like the Park Run idea for the social connection and health benefit. It would be great to get that going in my area.
Thank you !
Do NOT stop going to the gym.
Modern life is set up in a way that makes getting physical activity & muscular exertion harder to fit in. Sure you can get some from daily life if you make an effort, but putting in a few days at the gym a week will go a long way toward health, wellness & longevity.
No way. Gyms are such a downer for many - the machines, the smells, the feeling of lack of community despite being surrounded by others (all looking at their own screens), the lack of anything beautiful in the environment, the list goes on. No matter the workout, I always leave feeling depleted in mood. My exercise will always be outdoors and uplifting.
@@sophistpig
It’s all about your mindset. I use the gym as a place to be in a meditative state in my head with a good music playlist going and getting in touch with a more primal energy level.
If you find something that will challenge your muscle, strength & cardio outside of the gym that you enjoy, then I say go for it. Not many ways to work out bodies in such a way in modern times outside of some sports, even then, a lot of them are better for lower body strength and not necessarily upper.
@@bigpicturegains no way I could exercise in gym and feel happy. I hate gyms. The smell, closeness of sweaty ppl, sweaty machines, lack of oxygen, it makes me nauseous. Making myself to go there would feel like a prison. I rollerblade for 2-2.5 hours three times a week, keeps me very happy and I can’t wait to go again. I would say…find what makes you happy then it doesn’t have to feel like a drill.
@@katerinakotisova1720
The gym I go to is nothing like the stereotypical one you described. Sounds like you haven’t been to many gyms to be honest.
@@bigpicturegains at my age, yes, I have been to many. And I was like this since I was very young. I’ve heard “this gym is different” zillion times. Actually I know some ppl that are exactly like me, and will do anything else but gym. Many are runners or bikers. One friend is a dancer, on semi serious level. Again, find what you like instead of fighting yourself to go where you fundamentally don’t want to be. Gym doesn’t have to be everything.
Great ideas to implement 💙
Title of "stop going to the gym" misleading.
True, clickbaity thumbnail makes you lose some credibility and blend in with these robot generated ones
I don’t know why professionals on YT have these silly cover images. Dr Berg does the same and it puts me off.
Wwrw
Oh my! I had the same gym experience and I grew to hating any form of sports.
Negative feelings about exercise has a lot to do with experience of PE at senior school, when only the best have fun
How is being an elite level athlete fun?
Do you think it's fun being the fastest guy in your state and having a slow team constantly in every game you play?
I had to help my coach/friend demonstrate new activities, I had to work much harder than everyone else in my class.
I had to finish first in any running, even warm-ups because, well I was the fastest.
Do you think there is any room for that person to grow in PE class?
Almost as bad as being the only EFL student in an english class, studying Shakespeare with people that refuse to speak English in English class...I learned so much that year, certainly paid off being the best at speaking English😂
That's what i keep tellng people; when you are cleaning at work or home , you are also moving a lot. No one counts it as exercise!
And then there's good sex... 😁, which can be great movement...
In PE I’d we were shown a running clinic instead of just goand run as fast a you can, it would of really helped me enjoy instead of hating being forced to do stuff your not comfortable with!
this is such an important message that he reposted it and sure it would've been great if he could've done some quick editing out of his repetitive talking but her message is so so so important. 🌸💚🙏🏼
🧐🧐"Stop going to the gym".
Another new FAD😒😒😒
Take a walk with people you want a better conection with.
Kelly is awesome
All living things need to move. Not just humans.
it is very useful, though I dont HAVE SO MUCH TIME TO LISTEN... I wish there was a shorter version available.
I watch in smaller sections over a couple of days and it also allows me to focus on all the info. Besides - how long do we spend watching sport or Netflix? 😊
@@philnasmith9755 Great idea! I seem to remember an app that used to sumarise articles, it saved me reading the entire article.... I have a method to deal with new material, be it a book, an article, a video etc: I look for an idea that grabs me and often dispense with the rest. That way I can remember it well and put it in practice. We have so many inputs every day, specially in CZcams. I have to CONFESS that I am tiktoking a lot. I look for the funny ones, I am very quick at finding things funny. I am a little weary of very serious sh1t!
I Luv girls named Kelly !
Time mark 51 Yes Yes yes
Woooahhh she's gorgeous
Lizzo is the embodiment of diabetes, upcoming chronic disease and possibly cancer..
I have a bad haircut. That does not mean I'm a bad driver. Lizzo has a powerful, positive energy that many should strive for.
Haha true. I love Kelly but yeah
I am listening this while on my daily walking routine, excellent content Dr . Rangan . I follow all your videos . The guest’s creaky voice is a bit distracting on my ears though !
💖❤️💖❤️💖🙏💖❤️💖❤️💖
❤️🙏👍👍👍
BJ is the real deal and its kind of ironic that more attention has been paid to the work of some rip offs. because maybe theyve been a bit more slick about their marketing and less interested in the benefit to humanity - which is what drives BJs work.
I wish i could unlearn 1:07
How can a person weighting 308lbs (which is significantly higher than the weight of a female sumo wrestler), who is now attempting to lose weight by eating gummies and utilizing 10-day detox smoothie cleanses, be "just like the embodiment of female power and joy"?? What an irresponsible message to spread.
Agreed!!!!
Yep!
I thought I heard her wrong so had to go back and listen. It's scary how many people are praising this woman after that statement. Everything she said after is dismissed as she clearly is dishonest. Imagine promoting an obese women as the female embodiment of joy 🤦🤣
Wow, you really used Lizzo as your 1 example of music to get healthy to.
Maybe we could use some of your hit tunes, since you are so much better than everyone else.
@@j.m.9703 It's not about the music, but about the irony of choosing someone who tries to glamorize obesity as someone to listen to while trying to get in shape.
It was unexpected, yes lol
No
Lizzo? Huh? That's not empowering or positive. I'll have to tune out of this discussion. Unfortunately, I've lost confidence in her judgment. Not judging her, just stating opinion.
I wondered the same thing...!!! 😵💫🤔
That’s too bad that you didn’t stay for the entire discussion because of that one comment. It was so much more than that one example and I’m glad I stayed to hear this inspiring dialogue.
I'm sorry Doctor Chatterjee, but you're in danger of traveling the CZcams hits/clicks/BS train past the point of no return.
You've had a tremendous positive impact on my life (and thousands of others), but I really hope you read this criticism and make of it what you will.
Firstly, the titles and especially thumbnails are really bad these days. They're only missing the duck face and Photoshop bits vis-a-vis the vein of the crassest, now-failing once-popular channels.
Also, been meaning to say this for a while, but compilations, clips etc should be labelled clearly. I want to know when you have a new conversation with Dr Matthew Walker - not realise 15 minutes in that it's a rehash of one of the last 3 conversations.
Love the long form interviews though. The depth and nuance is imperative in order to address these complex topics which have had years of mostly bad messaging from "authoritative" sources. So ignore the "these are too long, who the hell will listen?" brigade IMO.
----------------
As regards this particular episode, I usually happily look past stuff I might disagree with (and even hope to learn how I might be wrong in my outlook). Especially the small stuff. But the mention of a certain "celebrity" in a positive light 2 minutes in - someone who's the antithesis of what you and say, Dr Jamnadas would uphold as an ideal - really makes this hard to take seriously.
So what are you trying to say?
@@j.m.9703 I thought it was reasonably clear sir. Which part didn't come across to you? Or do you find the whole thing unintelligible?
The gym made me the too 1% man i am....gym, high protein diet and a lot of supplements/vitamins....mostly the gym
You go girl!!!
Not one of the best podcasts conversations. Felt repetitive.
Depends on what each person needs. Each podcast can not be everything to everyone.
I found it one of the most useful ever - instilled in me a sense of hope I haven’t felt in a long time.
You should go to the jungle and take some DMT Rangan.
Did she seriously just say LIZZO is the female embodiment of joy? She lost me there 🤦🤦
Lizzo??? No, just no. Absolutely terrible message.
Rangan Chatterjee talks too much. Pls let your guest talk.
This is from a few years back -- cut him some slack! He's learned since then 💚
Funny, I felt like the guest kept cutting him off.
Oh yeah, LOTS of people are going to watch a 2 1/2 hour video. NOT! Ridiculous. Shorten these things up if you want people to watch them. No thumbs up for you until you get realistic for the majority of people. Even for people who have the time (which most don’t), most are NEVER going to watch a 2 1/2 hour video.🙄
some of us LOVE, long videos! That's what some of us are searching for. He has plenty of shorter ones. If I want one for a long hike or if I want want to play while I sleep, and the information just gets in that way, this is perfect. If I want one to keep me company while I am cooking a complicated meal, this is perfect. If I want Juan to accompany me on a long drive, this is perfect. Not everybody has the same desires! I agree that sometimes I just want the bullet points and then I go look for that. The smart contact providers give all options.
I’m retired I can’t find 2 hours to watch the whole video. I have many other interests on YT. So yes, want more views be more concise and too the point.
@@tannsolo: I understand that some people are able to watch things that are even longer than movies, but most are not, and would never give up that much of their time. You are in the extreme minority here. But I’m glad you like his videos.
Yeah lots of videos about the length of titanic’s movie. But Maybe people who are really interested can split the video in 2 or 3 parts to watch later. No one is forced to watch the entire video all at once. It’s feasible with timestamp…
We can just listen to it instead, while doing something not too demanding.
But agree, I would upload the conversation in smaller bits, summary version… in addition to the full 1 block version.
