Thought this was a pretty good sum up of differences between activity, exercise and how humans have evolved in those aspects:
"Common sense led us to believe that humans were programmed to be as physically active as they can and that the more exercise we do, the more calories we burn.
But from an evolutionary standpoint – these ideas are just myths. Dr Daniel Lieberman, author of 'Exercised', and Dr Herman Pontzer, author of 'Burn', explain why."

I also thought that the social aspects and the conclusion, that you need to make opportunities to exercise available for everyone, was interesting. But isn't that exactly what the Chinese already have done? People, young and old, practice different things together in the parks, and they all have training tools for elderly people. And look at Chinese martial arts, how they are practiced.
Feels like the Chinese are way ahead of the Western World when it comes to integrating exercise in everyday life, right?
Then watch this video about Chinese people exercising:
