It's not about being proud, it's about showing how having such a behavior is not absurd. I don't walk around talking about my inactivity.

In my case, that's only two months a year. Someone else might be that inactive for the entire year.

Think older people, people with disabilities, physical or mental health issues, etc.

Sure, I don't sit for 8 hours a day while at the office but it's pretty close to it. I have a 30 minute lunch where I walk to the cafeteria and stand while waiting for the microwave. I also have a 15 minute break in the afternoon where I walk to the most comfortable spot of the building and back again.

When it's not -22ºF outdoor I squeeze some outdoor walking time in during those breaks.

I hate stationary cardio on machines and can't stand harsh cold weather. My exercise is done hiking up trails during spring, summer and fall.
