Just the fact that one has 40 plus hours a week to be active, instead of going to work. Working around the house doesn't count, as you don't get your heart rate up to the required minimum, to get one's heart in conditioning mode.
I go the gym three times a week, will play stickball on Sundays, pickleball and golf, to supplement my gym workout. There are many choices to go dancing and that is a good aerobic exercise. Use it or lose it.
If one wants to kid themselves that mall walking and going out to eat is being active, they are kidding themselves. We all need to do pushaways, from the dinner and burn more calories.
They are too many activities to stay home, but one must choose to do athletic activities instead of sedentary pursuits, whenever possible. IMHO.
