Last year, over 20,000 people joined the body electric study to change their sedentary, screen filled lives.
And guess what?
We saw?
Amazing effects.
Now you can try NPR's body electric.

This is FRESH AIR.
I'm Tanya Moseley.
In 1997, a 13 year old black boy named Leonard Clark was beaten into a coma after riding his bike into the predominantly white Chicago neighborhood of Bridgeport.
Police deemed it a hate crime, and at the time, it was part of a long history of racial strife in the area, and one of the perpetrators was the son of a powerful Chicago union boss with ties to the mafia.
The story is the subject of the investigative podcast you didn't see nothing, which earlier this month won the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Audio.
It was written and reported by Johannes Lecoeur, a Chicago native whose life was forever impacted not only by the attack on Lennard, but the series of events that happened afterward.
The story made national news.
13 year old Lennard Clark cannot speak, does not react to his mother, and is in serious danger of dying in.
The vicious act that has gone to the heart of Chicago's deep racial divide.
This kind of savage, senseless assault strikes at the very heart of America's ideals.
Then, almost overnight, the news stories turn to racial reconciliation and forgiveness.
This is a podcast about how that happened and how it changed my life.
So brace yourself cause this is bananas.
