How the Psychological and Neurological Benefits of Group Exercise Fuels Our Global Fitness Community
Bio: Janie Morganroth is a junior at Sacred Heart Preparatory (SHP) in Atherton. An avid runner, Janie has served as co-captain of her high school’s varsity Cross Country and Track and Field teams. In addition to athletics, she is an advocate against sex trafficking in the Bay Area and holds leadership positions with a local rescue organization and SHP’s Women’s Group. Outside of school, Janie enjoys spending time mentoring kids which includes running and training regularly with young female athletes and playing with her own three younger brothers! She hopes to pursue a career in neurobiology.

Synopsis:
With the COVID19 pandemic forcing individuals to self-isolate, many people were left with little motivation to exercise. Peloton was able to capitalize on humanity’s inherent need to associate with others, leading me to create this TEDx talk not only to acknowledge the global workout community Peloton has facilitated but also to explain the immense psychological and neurological benefits of group exercise over independent workouts.
