The general problem we need to find good answers for is that as a society, on average we just don't move enough.

And in general, folks dismiss some of the easier ways to do this. Walkable and bike-friendly cities. Fare-free mass transport (gotta walk to bus stops). Electric bicycles that require foot pedaling (folks are more likely to use them when they have the electric assist vs a regular bicycle). Taking care of walking/biking infrastructure (sidewalks to little if you don't treat them as well as the roads). Heck, we could make gyms affordable too. Reasonable work hours - for everyone - that allow for time to move would be a bonus as well.

We aren't even teaching folks how to do this stuff in ways that even poor folks in studio apartments or rented rooms can do. I spent more time learning parts of the body, the dangers of sex, and rules for sports than I did anything that would lead to lifelong health and strength and I doubt that has been fixed now.

These aren't cure-alls, but pushes folks in the right direction. It at least should work better than the shaming we do now.

There is one more thing: a culture of sitting for white-collar jobs. This is changing, but very slowly. When you are not WFH and say you are on a meeting, everybody is expected to be sitting. Even if it takes hours. If you start to move everybody is giving you looks and finally someone in a senior position will tell you, "Sit down, you are distracting others".

And of course offices when you can move while working are still a minority. It looks like we brought this upon ourselves.
