> Getting moving *is* exercise.

There's a difference between what something is and what something is perceived as. For whatever reasons they may have, many people have a strong negative emotional reaction to the idea of exercising, ask them to go for a two mile walk around the neighborhood with you and they'll balk. But then you take them to a city like Rome and they'll walk 20 miles in a day without even realizing it.

(context: gp poster) It's extremely funny to contemplate what my resumé would say about my intelligence vs. it taking 11 years of really worrying about my mental state consistently, occasionally trying to precisely define "exercise" via my mental health professionals and get in the weight room, when I knew the whole time about that phenomenon. i.e. I'd play pickup basketball for 3 hours post-high school but wouldn't run for 10 minutes. (not saying you're wrong, the opposite, it is the fundamental core lesson. intellectual error was forgetting to expand "exercise" to include walking to places I wanted to be)
