History

Even the Ancients complained that they were too busy!

How often do you hear the term ‘busy’. It’s something that we accept as part of modern life – to a point where it can take a toll on our fitness and health.

In this podcast, you’ll hear how many ancient civilisations were also busy.  Even an ancient physician complained that his patients didn’t devote enough time to keeping fit.

Guest: Konstantine Panegyres, McKenzie Postdoctoral Fellow, The University of Melbourne.

Presenter: Warren Andrew
