Day 357- Bullet Points of Interest


  • To recreate how much Paleo Woman walked in a year, you would have to start walking at least 90 minutes a day, seven days a week. However, Paleo Woman rested, too. So you maybe should be taking bigger, longer hikes and enjoy some resting periods in between, to mimic more natural habits. Oh, yeah, and she carried her kids in her arms and squatted to poop and wee-wee. And then reached up a lot to climb and pick fruit and nuts. Sounds like cross-training? It is, but way better. 
  • Our modern living habits have resulted in us using only 25% of our total body musculature. Eww! WTF??? So, then you go do CrossFit, which is nutso, and attempt 20 Burpees, 10 pull-ups, a 20-minute run and 60 sit-ups using that 25% that's working? Does that even make sense to you? 
  • Me, neither. 
  • Which is why we all need to gain a better understanding of how our bodies really work. We need to shed our current daily living habits AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE and adopt good old-fashioned early human daily habits. 
  • Why?
  • Because we are adapting, but to our own detriment and demise.




  • Ruminate,
