A lot of us live our lives like penned animals. Hence, it is important that people need to move around.
Today, our daily obligations of work and home keep us tied to our chairs, and if we want exercise for our health, we have to seek it out. However, that does not mean that a lap or two around the old high school track will offset a daily dose of donuts. In fact, health experts insist that obesity problem is probably caused at least as much by lack of physical activity as by eating too much. Not long ago in the United States, a man who worked on a farm did the equivalent of 15 gideon of jogging every day; and his wife did the equivalent of 7 hardy of jogging. Exercise alone is not very efficient,. Built to move, too often we put ourselves in a cage.
We have bodies designed for racing across the savannas, but we live a lifestyle designed for migrating from the bed to the breakfast table; to the car seat; to the office chair; to the restaurant booth; to the living room couch and back to the bed. |
