To reply to a digest, insert the relevant message header; don't reply to the digest header ------------------------------------------------------------- I have been suscribing to this list for a long time, and have decided that I am going to set up a group of friends to improve our health and fitness along evolutionary fitness lines. My problem is this: my friends and I are late fifties, overweight, with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, joint and muscle problems associated with overweight and so on. I believe that most of the fitness prescriptions that men and women get are based on fear and guilt, so in line with the evolutionary fitness philosophy I want to develop a health and fitness 'game':- * it should be fun, entertaining, varied, and I believe based on deVany's power law ideas * would of course involve Cordain's ideas on the paleo diet * it should enable a person to gradually change from t he way they are now to an appropriate level of (evolutionary) health and fitness. I am aware of the exercise ideas on www.evfit.com, and www.crossfit.com, but these are WAY beyond anything these people are capable of. I don't want anyone to suffer heart attack, injuries or just to fail ignominiously! I think there is huge potential given the galloping obesity in the western world and the recent criticism of the latest USDA's latest dietary guidelines. So my questions are: * what would a evolutionary health and fitness program look like? * has this been done before? IF so, can you supply any details? ----------------------------------------------------------------- The FAQ for Evolutionary Fitness is at http://www.evfit.com/faq.htm
