alt Hacker NewsWe lack basic education in fitness, really, we do! They don't teach it in schools, but really just walking your 8-10k steps a day + simple own-weight exercises at home do wonders! Gym is fine for those who like it and can afford it (time, money), but by far not the only solution. We need to educate ourselves better. Plus, better cities, I am with you on that one.

I find this confusing, but most people do not like to exercise. I think most people know how.
Education is not the problem. People know sugar is bad, people know cigarettes are bad, people know alcohol is bad, still millions use these substances every day.
What works best is to find some form of exercise that you really enjoy. I will get up at 5 in the morning, skip diner, skip appointments when i get a change to exercise, just because i enjoy it so much.
In addition, what also helps is to ensure normal activities require excercise. I will walk to the shop every day for groceries, walk the dog every day, cycle into town, best if you can cycle to work.
No, listen to what OP said. People know that exercise is good. Everything else is standing in the way.
The solution to everything is not education. That’s just what people who have been filtered through the system with good grades and a high education think. Their good habits are more correlated with their income than with their informedness.
