Exactly. Without trying you get double the recommended minimum cardio. I can't imagine how people can go about their daily business and not cover it.

Strength is trickier. Nothing in my day to day life requires me to pull something 12 times in succession in such a way that my lats will refuse to do a 13th pull.

That's why I do strength at home. I manage to pull about 30 minutes a day (not much yet), and I interleave upper body/legs every day. Been pulling that for a few months and managed to get fitter, not loosing weight (weight has always been extremely difficult to get for me, so that's a plus).
