Stating that after asking &quot;Why would I want hunter-gatherer fitness?&quot; (presumably a rhetorical question) implies that their understanding of hunter-gatherer fitness involved running slowly for long distances. I may be wrong but I don&#x27;t see why it would have been brought up otherwise given that the article already addresses that point:<p><pre><code>  &quot;The prospective clinical trials that have been performed
   assessing the health effects of various exercise regimens
   and the observational data are generally supportive of the
   health benefits conferred by a hunter-gatherer style of
   fitness regimen. A growing body of data indicates that
   many of the benefits of exercise accrue at relatively low
   to moderate levels of exercise. Continuous higher-level
   activity, such as jogging 32 km&#x2F;week, was not found to be
   statistically better than walking 19 km&#x2F;week for reducing
   features of the metabolic syndrome.&quot;</code></pre>
