What about someone who's carrying 100+ pounds of excess body weight? Would you consider walking to be fake exercise for them? I'd say that's a more heroic workout than joy riding.

I've seen such people jogging - intervals - short jog, short walk, short jog, ... They didn't look comfortable, but when I'm cycling uphill toward the end of a hard ride with nothing left in the burning legs I start grimacing too. What do you want? No free lunch.
