    Let’s say you go to the gym 3 days a week, as an example, what do you do on the other 4 days?

    I walk 3-5 miles the same as I do on the days I go to the gym. I also sometimes run, and sometimes cycle on top of that. I worded it pretty poorly in my op. When i say walking should be considered bare minimum exercise I mean it’s the baseline everyone should be doing no matter what. If you can do more, you definitely should. And not in lieu of walking, in addition to. If you’re under the age of ~60 and don’t have some kind of physical disability I just dont accept that walking 5 miles over the course of a day should be your only fitness goal. Its if course much better then nothing, but it should be considered foundational not aspirational.
