    I was watching a fitness YouTuber and they were saying that most influencers are basically on some type of drug(s). However, those that aren’t… if they want to maintain a good lifestyle that focusing on just exercise isn’t going to burn as much as you think. A lot of the day-to-day things like walking have a larger effect than you think. If you have a desk job you’re going to have to put a bit more effort to burn those calories.

    When I used to live in the UK, I used to walk 20K steps per day without trying. Moved to Canada and I struggle to hit 10K. I have friends that make fun of me for parking further away and say “who enjoys walking?”.

      Who doesn’t enjoy walking? Gets the blood flowing, wakes up the mind, burns a few calories, catch a little sun, even helps digestion. Walking is the fucking best. Stay fat, carbrains.

        People who can’t walk? People for whom walking is painful? People with toddlers in tow? People who live in places that are 30+ degrees with 70%+ humidity (today that was me, though I also qualify for the first for half a year after being injured walking and the second almost every since). The carbrain insult is just tone-deaf, especially for people who have no choice but to not walk
