“And pounding your leg joints into an early grave is really smart. “

I take it you don’t run.
People now realize that runners actually don’t suffer those injuries at a higher rate as people used to think. The data is out there if one wants to find it.

Our bodies were designed to run. Sitting at a desk all day as I do is what is unnatural.
All the people I personally know getting knee and hip replacements haven’t been runners from what I know.

I know several marathon runners who are facing early knee replacements.

Moderation is the key. Of course we were designed to run, for short distances. We were also designed to use our arms a lot more than runners do, but you don't see many of them stressing that part.
