Our ancestors although primitive in many ways did what came naturally, his exercise evolved around hunting, building and farming and using his highly tuned senses, literally to survive. On the other hand modern man sits in badly designed chairs, sleeps in badly designed beds, slumps before the television and will even take his car to slip to the corner shop. And when 21st century man takes exercise its violent competitive stuff pushing hard against bodies and minds that are not in tune.
