Medical experts agree that exercise can help prevent a variety of diseases and disorders and is generally good for you. But exercising does not put everyone in a good mood. This week WRVO's health and wellness show "Take Care" takes a look at the relationship between mood and exercise in an interview with Paddy Ekkekakis of Iowa State University. Ekkekakis has researched how exercise causes pleasure and displeasure.

More of this interview can be heard on "Take Care,” WRVO's health and wellness show Saturday at 6:30 a.m. and Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Support for this story comes from the Health Foundation for Western and Central New York.
