A new study examines the potential health consequences of a lack of exercise, which could be a concern to the 77 percent of Americans who do not get enough exercise, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We learn more about the risks from the lead author and how we can get started with an exercise routine. We also hear from the author of a new cookbook who wants us to treat cooking for ourselves more like a gift. And we take a look at Wisconsin’s shrinking pool of high school graduates and the impact it has on the state’s higher education system.
