Chief among these myths is the notion that we are supposed to want to exercise. There is a class of people whom I define as “exercists” who like to brag about exercise and who repeatedly remind us that exercise is medicine, a magic pill that slows aging and delays death. You know the type. According to exercists, we were born to exercise because for millions of years our hunter-gatherer ancestors survived through walking, running, climbing, and other physical activities.
It me.
