Education is not the problem. People know sugar is bad, people know cigarettes are bad, people know alcohol is bad, still millions use these substances every day.

What works best is to find some form of exercise that you really enjoy. I will get up at 5 in the morning, skip diner, skip appointments when i get a change to exercise, just because i enjoy it so much.

In addition, what also helps is to ensure normal activities require excercise. I will walk to the shop every day for groceries, walk the dog every day, cycle into town, best if you can cycle to work.

He already knows. A lot of americans are very defensive about their shortcomings.

If you want impartial accurate truth, the easiest place to get it is in scientific studies (like the one I posted).

I dont understand your response? I'm replying to a message that literally states: "We lack basic education in fitness ... We need to educate ourselves better". Sounds to me he's stating that education IS the problem?
Zoom out a bit. Person A posts a real study, person B says “nuh huh” -- they’re clearly not having the same discussion on the same level.

I’m saying often person B (American) is just being emotional/defensive, or gaslighting like their president.
