It wasn’t until the fourth century BCE, that the Greek physician Herodicus, recognized the importance of being physically active outside of a hunter-gatherer society. As our ancestors continued to devise more advanced means of acquiring food, physical activity declined. With the advent of sedentary agriculture some 10,000 years ago, that same level of peak performance was no longer necessary. However, rather than chasing after a soccer ball to win a game or taking a leisurely stroll down a tree-lined path, they “worked out” by chasing after their next meal. Our Paleolithic ancestors regularly engaged in physical activity to survive.
