Recently I've gotten really interested in human evolution and early-human lifestyle. This actually was born out of me trying to increase conversions and raise sales by tapping into primitive instincts, but that's a story for another thread.
I've been thinking a lot about emulating hunter-gatherer lifestyle/diet in some way. How did exercise fit into their day to day lifestyle? Was it in long bursts? Short bursts? How did the timing of eating enter the equation? How does this compare to other species.
I know a little bit about the eat/sleep cycle of felines (both big and small). In nature, they follow this process:
-Wake
-Socialize
-Hunt
-Eat
-Groom
-Sleep.
They're designed to follow this process twice a day.. aligning so their 'hunts' happen at both dawn and dusk. The process sticks when they became domesticated.
They'll wake up, become super needy for attention, play, eat, groom, nap. If a cat's acting out aggressively, you just make sure you play with it before you feed it and you can solve 90% of cat social/behavioral problems.
Humans MUST have some sort of evolved internal schedule. In theory, we would also eat right after we hunt, right? Or at least right after doing the physical activity of 'gathering' vegitation/avoiding predators.
I think that maybe waking up, running for half an hour, followed by a paleo breakfast would be 'best', whatever that means.
So let me ask you this question...
Is it best to exercise before or after you eat?
What do YOU do? Why?
