I agree with the article but the given recommendation is not practical for most people. Yes, there are so many things fundamentally wrong with our lives but people need to be practical.
There is nothing wrong with gyms and high intensity exercise. They are indeed worse than the recommended form of exercise but implying that they are unnecessary is a bad advice for many.
I think before giving this kind of general advice one needs to remember that not everybody has the luxury of adopting a lifestyle like the world's centenarians. "Quit your gyms!" advice won't be helpful at all for many.
This somehow reminds me of the "the right thing" vs "worse is better" duality in software development.
Note: I'm a health geek and hate gyms myself but for other reasons.
