BG I’m not talking complacency, I’m, talking about doing something. And frankly, our standard office type jobs are very toxic, we may not have a lot of choice with them, but they are a big root of the problem. Our bodies aren’t intended sit around that much.
Since you’re work out routine is 0.75, I’m curious what you’re doing for the other 2 hours. I don’t count, the changing, the driving (ironic), showering, and waiting around. They are unfortunate side effects of gym memberships. I swim for thirty minutes at the gym, not two hour. If I count the drive there, park, walk into gym, change, wait to lane split, shower, get dressed and leave to get home, I’m easily an hour and I live super close, such that walking to the gym is something I’ve started doing. If I want to use the treadmill or one thing during peak time, my 30 minutes can easily turn into 1.5 hour.
30-45 minutes will be more than enough more most, especially the majority that is overweight, pre diabetes, etc. that doesn’t include getting there and getting ready time. Kudos to you if you’re maintaining 2.75 hours most will fail. And for most, a simple consistent 30 minutes will do a lot of good. you’re working at home, imagine commuting 30 or more minutes each way each day and still squeezing in that gym time. Or squeezing it in, with the commute, with two kids in primary school.
My grandparents never spent a day in the gym, and at 45 would probably be able to out work most of us here. I suspect your grandparent where the same. Setting the expectation you need hours in the gym each day is prefailure for most.
