It's financially free at the time of action but most folks don't have the resources to do that. Time and space are both required and the people who need exercise are the ones least likely to have these criteria met. Most people sit or stand at work for about 8-9 hours and have a little 30-45 minutes of commuting in each direction. Our entire society is built upon car centric, work centric life and lifestyles. It's easy to blame the individual when you don't suffer the systemic issues that cause these things. A lot of us are fortunate to have flexibility in our hours or finances but this is a bubble. In my case: If I want to go for a walk or a jog I have to do so on the road. There are no sidewalks within dozens of miles of my location. That leaves me to buy a gym membership and commute back and forth by car. I can't afford that financially at present so I don't. If I had a safe way of moving more I would be more inclined. I go for walks as regularly as weather, climate, and time allow but they're often cut off by needing to keep my head on a swivel and risking being accosted by folks if I step into their lawns to get out of the way of a car that probably has a distracted driver. |
