Exercise

I did something today that tens of millions of other people in industrial nations also do: I got some exercise.  Until half a century ago, getting exercise was considered unnecessary, even unthinkable.  The daily rigors of life kept most people in decent shape.  The concept of exercise would baffle the ancients.

By the end of the 21st century, the human population is going to drop substantially and it will be a struggle in most places just to stay alive.  No more exercise... another artifact of industrial civilization.  Looking in the decaying junkyards and dumps for exercise equipment.
