Motivation starts with inspiration. The history of human beings as mainly hunters and gathers for 95 to 99% of our existence can be an inspiration for starting and maintaining a fitness program. Two million years ago in the fossil record we begin to see Homo erectus skeletons with thigh bones 50% longer than earlier hominids, as well as wider shoulders and smaller forearms that support a more efficient running stride. That record also shows the stone-tipped spear is only 200,000 years old, and the bow and arrow dates back just 50,000 years. That leaves a span of least 1.8 million years when our primitive ancestors were chowing down on game before hunting tools had even been invented. Because our speedier prey could run only short distances before exhaustion, to gain access to that essential form of food, we developed a body that was more efficient on two feet over long distances than our faster four legged prey. Our evolutionary history suggests that we are fundamentally cognitive engaged endurance athletes. Approximately, 10,000 years ago the advent of agriculture led to easier access to food, and a more sedentary lifestyle of human settlements that changed the hunter-gather way of life. Although, today there are still human groups that are considered hunter-gathers in a limited form, such as the Hadza of Tanzania and the Tarahumara of Chihuahua in Mexico. The Tarahumara can run many miles in one session for intervillage communication, transportation and hunting. Often men kick wooden balls as they run in foot throwing competitions, and women use a stick and hoop. Races can last a few hours to a couple of days without a break. They commonly hunt with bows and arrows, but are also known for their ability to run down deer and wild turkeys. Consequently, one might conclude and be inspired by the fact that our bodies and brains over the majority of our existence on earth were designed for aerobic endurance, such as running and walking. We are meant for motion. Did we evolve over millions of years with our long limbs and capacity for muscle strength and endurance to sit in front a computer many hours a day moving mainly our fingers? From millions of years of physical activity our bodies and brains require exercise to be healthy.
