Why do humans hate exercise?

579 viewsBiologyOther

I know a lot of people like it, but it’s not nearly as common as it is in other animals. All other animals I can think of actively seek out and enjoy things like running, jumping ect. It seems to come naturally and be painless while for us it takes training and pushing through pain. Why? How? Does it hurt them too but they don’t care or?

I think what people actually hate is pointless busywork, and exercise is exactly this; running nowhere, lifting heavy things and then putting them back down, etc…

If the exercise comes during something else, i.e climbing a mountain or labouring on a task, then people probably don’t care.
