I agree, but I do encourage clients to AT LEAST be active in their everday lives during those crazy times when they are out of their normal routine (like on vacation) or when they absolutely cannot get to the gym. I’m careful with that last one because I don’t want incidental exercise to become an excuse not to go to the gym.

This is the most clear and direct post I’ve read about the benefits of exercise vs. active living. Thank you!

Thanks for the answer Kelly! Truth be told-I’ve just been super lazy lately and was hoping it wouldn’t matter since I’m active in my day-to-day life. But now I have the motivation to get off the couch and into the gym….well, tomorrow I will. For now it’s wine and Season 8 of Scrubs

I like the reminders why exercise is so important for our health! In addition to gym workouts, I also like to get lots of incidental exercise. It seems to be good for my body and soul…

Very interesting! I’ve always been told not to count it but didn’t really know any rationale behind it – thanks!
