Why would you need to exercise unless you were living an unnaturally sedentary life due to being trapped in wage slavery? Shouldn't this be retitled to something like overcoming illhealth related to sedantism?
- gniv 2mo agoThe point of all these articles is that if you exercise hard you get extra health benefits. Even folks that move all the time and clock 15k steps per day may not get those benefits because it's not the right exercise.
- bcjdjsndon 2mo agoI think you've missed my point. Do hunter gatherers need to exercise? Pastoralists? It's only those of us caught in civilized society that live sedentary lives and have this problem in the first place
- gniv 2mo agoI for one want to live longer and better than the hunter gatherers of yore.
- bcjdjsndon 2mo agoSlaves can live long lives, why not find yourself a master? Oh right, living a long time isn't actually all that matters now that you think about it
- jebarker 2mo agoWhat about the fact that due to modern medicine many people now live twice as long and therefore need to stave off the effects of aging, e.g. loss of muscle mass and stability, to have a good quality of life in those bonus years?
- bcjdjsndon 2mo agoI'm guessing, they too live a sedentary lifestyle and that's why their muscles are wasting away. Ive seen 90 year olds in rural Italy out every morning watering the garden. She didn't need to spend any time exercising because she gets "exercise" by simply doing stuff each day.
