"All Mongol girls learned to ride and shoot the bow and use the sword and knife and wrestle..."

That sounds physically healthy and maybe wholesome and fulfilling? I prefer the amenities of high civilization and advanced technology, which I am using now. However, we need gyms and exercise to counteract the effects of sedentarism. What would be the optimal life-style, combining physical health with the benefits of electricity and everything else that was lost in the Change? I don't know but I do find that I have asked this question before. See Physical And Mental Activity. This may be one of the basic questions asked by sf. More on such questions soon.

Kaor, Paul!
I too would prefer NOT to lose the benefits and amenities of a high tech society. But I am aware that comes with costs, such as the temptation to simply slack off and become fat and excessively sedentary. Which I counteract or prevent by regular, daily exercises. And taking some care over what and how much I eat!
