>It’s to rediscover the joy of movement and feel the urge go wheeeeee more often.
You're telling me to "rediscover" something you just told me I have a fundamental natural aversion to?
Biological systems are especially good at energy minimization.
It’s not surprising that the natural inclination for humans is to be at rest.
Some people exist in this state for so long they don't even know there's an alternative.
We have a body. It feels great to push it and use it to lift heavy stuff. Try it out, but don't go overboard at first. That's where most people go wrong, especially when they've energy-minimized themselves to a state approaching a dried prune.
The natural inclination for humans isn't to be at rest. All evidence suggests people have played games like chase/wrestling/throwing things since there were people, and animals we most likely came from play games too.
The piece is garbage. Pure and simple.
This is definitely one of the most absurd articles I've read, but only because I think the author convinced himself that it was a reasonable take, rather than the more typical trolling for clicks. 100% cognitive dissonance.
I wouldn't expect humans to be any different.
Where is the evidence? They are essentially putting forward an unsupported theory that you can or should replace exercise with things like "shuffling around your house" and "dancing like no one's watching."
This is stupid. We all have better things to do than read or talk about this empty content. Like go to the gym.
