If people walked even a single hour per day they'd be much better off. With a typical office job you can easily get literally 0 minute of activity in your day. A decent diet, one hour of walk every evening and 30min of heavy lifts every other day and you'll be the fittest person in the room 90% of the time, such a small price to pay
> the fittest person in the room 90% of the time, such a small price to pay
Such a small price to pay for what? The median person has notoriously bad diet, bad exercise/movement habits, etc. so what does being in 90th percentile even tell you? And what does it tell you to be
> and I'm healthier than 99% of people I meet
Because apparently this just says that you are more fit than a seal with pneumonia in the middle of a desert.
It seems more natural to ask what concretely you will be able to do. Because if I just wanted to get the Xth percentile bragging rights—which a lot of fitness bizarrely boils down to, with all the health benefits just being eh—I would just hang out with my father’s friends more.
The irony is the typical American devotes more time than that each day to driving and paying for their automobile [1], the same device that robs them of a ton of physical activity they'd otherwise get without ever really thinking about it.
