Exercise is a part of human nature, our bodies are designed to run, jump, and sprint. Hundreds of years ago life had come down to the survival of the fittest, and exercise was the avenue to reach that fitness. This is still partially the case as the fittest tend to live longer in modern society, however with advancements in modern technology and medicine extending people's life expectancies, the importance that people place on exercise has lowered.
