Are we in some sort of historical outlier in this regard? What do you know about this? Like were people in medieval times way more motivated than we were today or something?

People in medieval times didn't generally have lifestyles that needed extra push to go be active

It's very likely that they would also stay home and rot on their phones given a chance to. But that was never an option for them

That's sort of my point though. Look at developed societies that exist today that don't have the same fitness problems. What are they doing differently?
