Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't think exercise was a huge concern in his day. Scheduling times to exercise is a modern invention.

Also, many of the things that qualify today for activity level we would deem "exercise" was reached by everyday chores, such as chopping wood, feeding livestock, walking, &c.

They also died extremely young, so they didn't have to worry about a lot of the diseases that come with not being in shape.

No commute to and fro work!?

I thought this was funny/sad too. I spend approx 2.5 hours a day commuting. Clearly, I have found something in my schedule that needs to be cut.

I spend about two hours commuting myself. For me, the worst part is the fatigue that hits you afterward and the affects of it that linger for many more hours that keep you from doing more productive things.
