Get moving, Time, August 8, 2005
We didn`t worry much about keeping fit 100 years ago. A sizable percentage of the world`s population was reaping and sowing, herding and mowing its way through life on preindustrial farms. In coastal cities, strong-shouldered stevedores were loading and unloading ships dawn to dusk without a container or stacking crane in sight. Builders, lumberjacks and railroad men drove nails or sawed wood using muscles, not power tools. And for those doing the washing, cooking and scrubbing at home, life wasn`t so dainty either. (Ever pick up one of those 4-kg solid-metal weights that gave ironing its name?) In that bygone, sweat-drenched era, staying in shape just wasn`t an issue. Indoor plumbing? Now that was an issue. Working out? Never heard of it.
