    You'll want this for nicely trimmed lawns and prize bushes:
    www.eighthstreetlatinas.com.

    Running ability is more important than weightlifting ability, though I
    would not do without one in order to excel at the other myself. The
    reason early humanoids were able to get meat (before bows and arrows
    and after being mere scavengers) to grow into big guys with bigger
    brains is due to the ability to chase down prey over long distances.

    The mutual disdain between the two groups of fitness enthusiasts is
    very unfortunate. One is usually right or left-handed, but both are
    necessary!

    Which kind of prey humanoids were supposedly able to chase?

    Neither running nor weights are necessary.

    If this deer-looking thing run slower than humanoids, everything would be
    able to chase it down.

    It didn't run slower than humanoids; it just couldn't run for as long.

    You should get the documentary "Walking with Cavemen."

    Quoted message said:

    No, they aren't. I know plenty of people who never do any of this, and
    who are healthy.

    I said "good" health. I think that just as there are different levels
    of intelligence, there are different levels of health and physical
    fitness. Good health to me means being able to run and lift at an
    intermediate level, more or less. It shouldn't take a truly healthy
    -- "strong" -- individual eight minutes to run a mile, and a truly
    healthy person (males, anyway) should be able to bench-press 315-lbs.
    Such a person should also be able to continuously run, even if at a
    very modest pace of only four or five miles an hour, for ten to
    fifteen miles. Other considerations include joint and muscle
    flexibility (like doing a perfect, full split, or touching ones toes
    without bending the knees).

    Oh, and hunt woolly mammoths, if the occasion arises. =)

    If you're an eleven year-old princess who weighs 95 pounds, 135 ain't
    bad.

    "315" is just a general guideline...for example, shorter people are
    rumored to do better on lifts due to the biomechanical advantages of
    their frame WRT most tasks involved...those who run long-distances
    regularly may also subtract, oh, a good fifty pounds or so from that
    standard....
