I will not forget those people who live on trees.
I have recently purchased a
pull up bar. The kind that attaches to the door frame with vacuum.

That's not me! But, it's the same idea. I really need a camera for this blog... |
I have had the fortune to spend some time studying
Anthropology. During that short period, I could not avoid seeing just how much the environment affects people. I have noticed how human bodies are shaped according to their use. While most tribes seemed to be generally
healthy and in
shape, their physique was somehow not very attractive. I could not quite point out what was incorrect about their shape, until I saw the
Korowai tribe!

These folk climb trees every day. They live in tree houses. How awesome is that?! |
|
I have yet to see tribal people with such a well formed physique, all around. |
I know that most tribal people are rather active and healthy, and so there is no claim that the Korowai are somehow "stronger." What I have noticed is that when people have a lot of
climbing in their daily lives, then their upper-bodies are better formed. This gives a
well-balanced structure to the body.
So, together with general fitness, examples such as these have given me a lot of encouragement to include
climbing, or just
pull ups, in my
daily routine. And I have to say -
it works! (I promise a photo in the near future!)
