Society has become so civilized that we have to simulate manual labor at the gym in order to reap the health benefits that civilizations of past centuries had to do naturally for a living.

We now pay gyms for the privilege of doing the manual labor we once had to do in order to get paid. Perhaps gyms should at least generate electricity. Any Back to the Future 2 fan will remember that scene where Griff Tannen says “Keep pedaling you two!”
