90% of a mammal’s energy output is in the form of climate control, not movement.
The variable not factored in is the average ambient temperature. Americans of yesteryear shivered in winter months and sweltered in summer months.
Today, that work has been outsourced to heat pumps, gas furnaces, and refrigerated air systems.
I discovered regular workouts removed my extreme discomfort with it being cold inside. I may not enjoy it being 55 degrees, but it’s not painful like it used to be. I suspect most Americans would find the same.
