And by the way, if you think treadmills are a form of torture, I think it's kind of interesting that kind of the modern treadmill's origins are in Victorian prisons where they were actually invented as a form of torture. They were invented to keep prisoners from enjoying themselves. They made them trudge for hours and hours on these early treadmills. I don't know anybody who really enjoys being on a treadmill. Most of us, if we're forced to be on a treadmill, we either listen to a podcast or some music or watch something on our iPhones or whatever to kind of make it tolerable. But they really kind of, to me, epitomize how so many modern forms of exercise are kind of like cod liver oil. They're not really pleasant, right? We do them because they're good for us, but it's not fun. And so it's like taking your medicine. I study the human body and why it is the way it is. And I'm especially interested in the evolution of physical activity. And as I've been studying walking and running and various other sort of physical activities, it's become really clear to me that a lot of people are exercised about exercise. They're anxious. They're confused. They don't understand what's the right amount of exercise to do. They have trouble getting off the couch. And they feel kind of shamed and blamed for not being as physically active as they might like to be. And so I wanted to write a book to try to debunk a lot of myths about physical activity and about exercise using the lenses of evolution and anthropology. So the word exercise comes from the Latin exercisio, and it meant to train. So we still do math exercises or soldiers do exercises to get fit. But eventually the term has changed its meaning and it's developed new meanings. So on one hand, it means to do voluntary physical activity for the sake of health and fitness. That's that kind of sort of fitness, physical activity kind of exercise. But on the other hand, it also means to be exercised. It means to be upset, to be confused, to be anxious, to be kind of worried about something. And then again, we get exercised by our math exercises. And so to me, it's part and parcel of this strange concept of exercise. It's this modern idea of doing voluntary, discretionary physical activity for the sake of health and fitness. But we don't do it often. Most people don't do it because they want to. They do it because it helps stave off death and decrepitude. And in the modern world, of course, a lot of people are confused about it because they find it hard to do. They're not quite sure how much to do. There are all kinds of myths surrounding it. So very much people are exercised about exercise today. And really, I think that by shining the light of evolution and using kind of an anthropological perspective, my goal really is to help people be less exercised about exercise.
順便說一句，如果你認為跑步機是一種酷刑，我認為現代跑步機起源於維多利亞時代的監獄，這一點很有趣。發明跑步機是為了不讓囚犯盡情享受。他們讓囚犯在這些早期的跑步機上跋涉幾個小時。我不知道有誰真的喜歡在跑步機上跑步。我們中的大多數人，如果被迫在跑步機上，要麼聽播客或音樂，要麼用 iPhone 或其他設備看點東西，讓自己還能忍受。但在我看來，它們真的有點像魚肝油，是許多現代運動形式的縮影。它們並不討人喜歡，對吧？我們做這些是因為它們對我們有好處，但並不有趣。所以就像吃藥一樣。我研究人體以及人體為什麼會這樣我對身體
