Changing routines is hard. Just because people can spend time moving about outside doesn't mean they will. Just like because people can eat healthy food in appropriate amounts doesn't mean we don't have an obesity problem.

For example, someone could have used to walk to work, or walk to lunch. Or just spent more time walking about an office building than their home office. Or had a routine of hitting the gym after work, but be unable to find the same motivation to work out at home.

I had a routine of hitting the gym between 13.00-15.00, when it is at its emptiest. When the deadlocks came, I bought some rudimentary equipment home, but the experience sucked... Polished hardwood floors are just too slippery.

Fortunately, they opened the gyms on Thursday again and I am going back to my previous routine.

I get the motivation thing but what else is there to do on a Saturday besides go hiking or take the dog on a long walk. We’ve been through this for eight months now and people should be getting outside just for sheer boredom.
