Have you ever used the weather as an excuse not to exercise?
Common excuses we’ve often used are things like being too tired, not having enough time, finishing work too late, exercise feels awful… and yes, we’ve definitely avoided exercise because the weather is bad.
Freezing temperatures, torrential rain, blistering heatwaves and terrible air pollution - research shows that weather is impacting rates of physical activity all over the world.
On this episode, Gab and Sarah look at how bad weather and climate change might affect how much we exercise.
