> Walking 2 hours per day is a completely impractical fantasy.

Tell people you spend 12 hours a day starring at a screen and they won't bat an eye, tell them you walk 10k step a day and they'll try to convince your it's unpractical, unhealthy, "10k is a made up number anyways", "I don't have time", "isn't it too hard?"

it depends on your circumstances but for a lot of people it's impractical.

i want to spend my free time with my kids, not walking somewhere in the woods/city.

i walk 2 hours once a week after their bed time. but i certainly can't do that every day or i would die of exhaustion.

All my friends are single and spend more time gaming than I spent exercising, by far, for most people it's a time allocation decision. My brother is more active than me despite having a kid

Um, wlcouldnt you walk wkth your kids?

[lucyjojo → DontchaKnowit]

toddlers, so not happening.

plus as a kid, i absolutely hated exercise-walking with my parents. it made me despise walking for ~20 years.

Huh, ai mean both my sisters walk for like an hour a day with their toddlers most days with good weather. So idk, different strokes for different filks I guess

[lucyjojo → DontchaKnowit]

not possible in my case
