@kyusho do you believe that only diet and incidental exercise are sufficient to maintain healthy weight or exercise is essential to maintain a healthy body?
I find there are a lot of controversial information - for example in France, a lot of people are quite skinny but exercising and going to the gym isn't really something that is necessarily part of every day life routines of French people. So I'm wondering if diet is the only real key and simply walking to work, shops etc. is sufficient?
Just a question (we do feel better after exercising though) more specifically around weight.
I Travel to France once or twice a year to instruct Martial Arts, so my view may be slanted. The key is activity, unless you are trying to accomplish more than just health. Fitness to me is different than health, health is making sure all is flowing and operational, while Fitness is building more strength, endurance, etc. While there I also see many people do more in everything like walking, biking, outdoor activity etc., but for me there are two sides of this equation.
