Five takeaways from a year's reporting on fitness, and why this journalist says it's time to go easier on yourself.


Shannon Palus is a features editor at Slate covering heath, science, and human interest. In 2023, she edited Slate's year-long fitness column, Good Fit, about exercise. Her writing has also appeared in the New York Times' Wirecutter, Scientific American, and the Atlantic.


In this episode we talk about:


  • How this conversation changed the way Dan thinks about exercise
  • Why you shouldn't drive yourself crazy following the latest trends about health and fitness
  • Why tracking your workouts isn't always helpful - and remembering that there is always the option to "go slow."
  • The importance of remembering that exercise is not one-size-fits-all
