> Walking 2 hours per day is a completely impractical fantasy.
Tell people you spend 12 hours a day starring at a screen and they won't bat an eye, tell them you walk 10k step a day and they'll try to convince your it's unpractical, unhealthy, "10k is a made up number anyways", "I don't have time", "isn't it too hard?"

it depends on your circumstances but for a lot of people it's impractical.
i want to spend my free time with my kids, not walking somewhere in the woods/city.
i walk 2 hours once a week after their bed time. but i certainly can't do that every day or i would die of exhaustion.

All my friends are single and spend more time gaming than I spent exercising, by far, for most people it's a time allocation decision. My brother is more active than me despite having a kid

toddlers, so not happening.
plus as a kid, i absolutely hated exercise-walking with my parents. it made me despise walking for ~20 years.

Huh, ai mean both my sisters walk for like an hour a day with their toddlers most days with good weather. So idk, different strokes for different filks I guess
A better resource: Body By Science a book containing recommendations based on research and data. The overall goal is proper volume of effective effort of cardio and strength exercise that doesn't take too long and reduces risks of wear/tear and injury.
