As we reflect on the evolution of fitness over the centuries, and the emergence of a well-organized and growing “fitness” market and industry, it is well to ask ourselves：what have we lost, and what have we gained?
Obviously, much good has come out of these recent developments：there's widespread awareness of the importance of regular exercise, nearly every community has a gym or fitness club where people can go or pay to work out, and we understand more about how the human body works.
Yet despite the many health and fitness methods，programs, and resources, the general population has never been so physically sedentary (久坐的) and out¬of¬shape.A recent World Health Organization report indicates that life expectancy (寿命) in the U．S.dropped for the first time since 1993.The health of modern people is declining, despite highly advanced medical technologies and the booming health and fitness industry.
How could that be? A large part of it is motivation.People are simply not as motivated to move their body and get healthy as they were in the past.We live in a society where the inability to operate one's body in a practical and effective manner is no longer an embarrassing condition.The fitness industry, no matter how good each new program claims to be，has failed to get the majority of people to value, practice, and enjoy physical exercise.
So, should we expect the answer to this dilemma to come from even more varied, or more technologically advanced programs and equipment? Or will the solution come from a different mindset, a simpler approach and practice, and overall a new culture?
