This all seems like bad advice stemming from some naturalistic fallacy.

>a pragmatic daily fitness (for example commuting with a bike) instead of a more 'artificial' fitness

For example this just seems random. Driving a bike is not even more natural (were there bikes in the EEA) and if anything will just expose you to more polluted air, and increase your risk of dying by a car crash compared to gym alternatives. This doesn't mean biking is bad compared to not doing anything but that's not the claim here.

"expose you to more polluted air" It's actually quite wrong, compared to cars for example https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/dec/13/cyclists...

You were comparing to working out indoors not working out in a car initially.

sure, but most people would use cars for commuting to different places, including their indoor gym, and the other idea is practical working out (commuting is your working out)
