I can tell you’ve never done hard manual labour lol.
It’s more of a workout than anything in the gym, and it’s been done for thousands of years, whether it’s farming, building etc.


Also, most indigenous tribes do run and sprint long distances (longer than the animals they hunt, they tire them out then kill them)

And if you just look at the over 70+ track and field athletes. They’re all exceptional moving humans that live well into their 90’s, not only live, but can move better than 99% of their counter parts.

You’re just trying to justify being lazy. It’s okay.


humans don't do manual labor "in nature" you buffoon. they spend a day building a shelter and have essentially nothing to do ever again regarding it. you think humans 50,000 years ago did manual labor?

and NO most indigenous tribes do not run and sprint long distances to tire out animals. lmao

go back to the bank meat head, anthropology isnt your arena

Persistence hunting, look it up.

But okay my man, you sit on the couch and do nothing and enjoy your sedentary lifestyle.

Sounds like fun.

thx 4 advice, first result from google :

This is a fringe idea which gained a cult following after the publication of "Born to Run", a book that became very popular in the media. It inspired TV shows and book reviews in the NYT, got a lot of people talking.

So far as actual evidence goes, you can divide it 3 ways:

Evidence from pre-historic hunter-gatherer societies: zip

Evidence from historic hunter-gatherer societies: zilch

Evidence from modern hunter-gatherer societies: n = 1 (kinda sorta)

To my knowledge, the only time persistence hunting has been observed and written about in a peer reviewed journal is in the case of four San hunters from the Kalahari, who performed 8 persistence hunts, 2 or 3 of which were successful. I'm not sure if they could honestly be called "persistence", because they involved a leisurely stroll with the animal dead in a couple hours, or else gone for good.

We do have zillions of examples of both modern and historic hunters not persistence hunting. Common methods appear to be stalking, ambushing, waylaying animals when they cross a steam or choke point, traps, etc.

Perhaps persistence hunting is not possible outside the Kalahari, in other environments which are cooler, more shady, harder to track. Perhaps it only works in a semi-desert where it's really really hot and there are no trees for shade and the ground preserves nice tracks so you don't have to worry if the deer runs out of sight, you can just keep following its tracks until you find it.

At any rate, this fortunate set of circumstances appears to be rare enough that we don't see persistence hunting much at all. I recall that those successful Kalahari hunts didn't produce much meat in return for the man hours invested. Probably they'd have gotten more meat if they just stayed home and set up traps in suitable spots nearby.

humans are lazy by nature, we sit around as much as possible "in the wild"

decent amount of walking and as little physical exertion as possible, look at aboriginal tribes. they don't move if they don't have to


any sort of exercise creates a stress response and ALL stress responses age you.

i do a couple miles walk a day and maybe 1-2 days a week of light exercise, simply because i enjoy it


dont die at 45, stop using drugs and stop working out


It sounds like you've found a balance that works for you! It's great that you're enjoying your daily walks and light exercise. As long as you feel good and it's contributing to your well-being, that's what matters. I would like to suggest you, include high-fiber foods in your diet since it can also help support your overall health. Everyone has different preferences and comfort levels when it comes to physical activity. If you ever need any tips or advice, feel free to ask!

This is the most incorrect thing you could've said


You can't even run in non modern nature. There are trees and bushes and rocks and holes everywhere. Lol. It's so untrue that humans are long distance runners, lmao
