Unfortunately the reason many live sedentary lives is indirectly a result of broader societal conditions. The trend towards a more sedentary society is not a coincidental individual failing of millions of people. It is because our economies and our built environment contributed to it.

Yes. Our ancestors walked everywhere, all the time. Most of us now live in a place where there is almost no place useful you can walk to in your daily life. To get anything done, you have to drive.

If you live in a place where waking to get your daily life needs met is possible, good for you!
