The incredible thing about this âfindâ(TM) is that they consider climbing stairs as âvigorousâ(TM) exercise. Thatâ(TM)s only true if you are sedentary and overweight or really unfit overall. My mom needs a walker to go to the supermarket, but sheâ(TM)s still fit enough to talk while dragging herself up the stairs.

Nope, staying in bed is a health risk. Inactivity is a health risk, including some cancers.

“The benefits of physical activity are broad and include better mental health, a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, improved sleep, and a lower risk of some cancers.10 Benefits are dose dependent and nonlinear, with no lower threshold. The biggest benefits occur when moving from no activity to some activity; even small changes are clinically significant.451112 Increasing duration of physical activity of any intensity, and less time spent sitting, is associated with a reduced risk of premature mortality.13”
