I feel like all these articles/research are written from an extreme American perspective where people never move unless it’s from the couch to the car. You basically can’t exist in a European (and many others) lifestyle without getting this much exercise every day.
- Dunedan 2y agoNothing prevents somebody in Europe to stay at home without significant exercising all day, especially now as a lot of jobs are work-from-home.
