FITNESS REVOLUTION: PRIMATE

 

Many have their own theories on how the world began, with different theories and thoughts of the primate being the first hominoid beings of existence and are part of the homo sapien history has become a consistent theme of our existence. These beings had much less priorities then we have in our current society as well as they had to focus on less things than those that overconsume us today. One important factor to notice of the differences between the primate living and ours is the subject of fitness.

·      Physical development became vital need for survival

   Physical development became a vital need for survival in the primate times as they needed this development for the activities and the experiences that they had to go through. Food was more to give them energy to be able to survive and their physical fitness helped them to go through nature using their physical abilities.

·      Movement was a demand of tools , nature  , defense

Movement became an expression of the nature of their lives, as they needed many tools for their survival needs either to protect themselves through defense or getting access to food in nature.

·      Basic movements of walk, balance , jump , crawl ,climb , carry , lift , throw, fight

      The basic movements that became part of their lifestyle was that of being able to walk far distances, good enough balance to run and to be able to jump. They could also crawl, climb mountains and different terrains, carry whatever was of need for their survival, as well as they possessed the strength to lift things , throw objects and to fight when they needed to protect themselves

·      Structured fitness programs did not exist

      Primates did not need a structured fitness programs for their physical and health development as none of that would of made sense to them because of the natural active lifestyle that they were already living, the fact that it has become a demand shows how far we have gone as a human species.

·      Physical   development was part of a daily lifestyle

     Physical development was a ritual lifestyle for them and they had understood the basics of needing food for energy to survive for days as well as they needed to be active in order to make use of the energy that they had acquired.
