alt Hacker News> Cordoning off a discrete slice of time to "be healthy" is pathetic imo.
What does this actually mean to you? Walking or even running is certainly not comparable to going to the gym, so what, should we lift heavy weights as part of our regular jobs to keep up our upper body muscle mass?
The results I've seen, and please correct me if my knowledge is wrong / outdated, are that modest physical activity (i.e. not gym, but more than our sedentary lifestyles) regularly nets most of the health benefit.
Ergo, we don't need to turn our jobs or built environment into Ninja Warrior.
We just need to build it to encourage that modest amount of activity.
