Nobody credible. The real question is how do you get people of their ass and start exercising? This includes me, I feel much better on days I make it to the gym.
Stop treating it as exercise and take up a physically active hobby. Hill walking, cycle touring, squash etc.

What is the evolutionary explanation for this?
Does there have to be? Doesn't evolution produce a lot of things which are side-effects not goals?

Compound studies find that 1hr of sports = 7hrs of additional life (up to 7hrs a week).
Do you have a link for that?

If you read the study and point out a flaw, thank you for your contribution. If you make a zero effort "observation" which makes it clear you didn't even skim the abstract, you're adding nothing of value.
You're right. It's not arrogance though, just laziness?
So that's why Taleb deadlifts like a madman.
Here's a writeup Taleb did about strength training (whether I agree or disagree in totality is a separate issue, but we can all agree to 80% and disagree on the rest):

Well done you. 50 lbs is huge. Since you are up so early and only have 40mins from waking up to gym, mind sharing your diet too (what you eat when)?
if you exercise 5+ days/week you dont have to worry about diet. its often the other way around that many people strugle with eating enough to gain weight/muscles.

> The real question is how do you get people of their ass and start exercising? You don't. You wait for them until they decide and act on their decision.
That is not an effective strategy. Decisions are backed by the environment (in a broad sense), so it's important to understand (for the sake of effectiveness) which changes can be done to the environment, to stimulate taking such decision[s].
What I was trying to say is: I don't give a flying raccoon if people want to exercise or not.
So yeah. No strategising from me.
Somewhat related, today I read "Researchers found that the foot's impact during walking sends pressure waves through the arteries that significantly modify and can increase the supply of blood to the brain." https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/04/170424141340.h...
