Because of all the other things they have to “make an hour” for. Pick up kids, make supper, meh, I don’t to make a whole list, use your imagination. Personally, yes, that hour with a musical instrument in my hands is sacred, and dogs need walked for an hour whether I want to or not. But I’m not most people.

Besides, they owe neither you or me an explanation. Our hypothetical people said that’s not a workable option, what else ya got?

I thought my comment might be a bit divisive :-)

I bet almost everyone can find at least half an hour for their health if they wanted to. Very few people actually have a "I don't have time!" excuse. These people better be spending every single minute of their existence at work, doing something essential with their family, or sleeping then. Even then, could they seriously not function with half an hour less sleep? Can they not do something physical with their kids like sport or even just a walk? Maybe you and some others actually don't have time, but most do. Even Obama found time for hourly golf and reading pretty much every day. I really dislike the victimhood/making excuses mentality. I don't think it's a good thing for most people. But yes, I understand that for a very small portion of people, they really don't have time.

Also, walking your dogs could be a form of exercise.

Try rigorous an hour long focused exrcise while caring about toddler whole day. Super frustrating. Or kid that you need to supervise after work and then not leave alone while the kid sleeps.

Exercise can be done - but only if you adopt the "5 minutes are actually fine if there is interruptiom" mindset parent recommends. And only if you did not exercised for long, because otherwise those small chunks are frustrating and make you hate them (as you are painfully aware of difference between old one and this one).

To be fair I see plenty of people about running with their dog and/or a baby or toddler in a stroller around here. A little creativity goes a long way if one is motivated.
