Let's Talk About Old-School Strength & Conditioning

What did the old-timers do to get strong and fit, since they didn't have commercial gyms and modern workout equipment? Share my random thoughts on the topic during my frosty morning commute. There is certainly a time and place for making things easier in order to increase production, but in much of our modern lives "easier" does not automatically mean "better". Get strong, fit, AND more prepared by doing more physical tasks the old-fashioned ways.
As always, sorry about the poor audio and wind noise.
