Best Bets

I've been thinking more about the activities that hunter-gatherers may have participated in.  Here's a partial list, based on circumstantial evidence and educated guesses:

  1. Walking
  2. Sprinting
  3. Distance Running
  4. Climbing
  5. Dancing
  6. Digging
  7. Carrying Objects
  8. Fighting
  9. Throwing
  10. Swimming

The details on these activities is where it gets sketchy.  We don't know how often they did certain activities, nor do we know the intensity or duration of them.  However, a good fitness routine should include all of these activities to some degree over time.
