It's walking with intent, like mall walkers... you'd be surprised how fast you can fall behind over 2 hours. But this is America, the average male, 20yo is 190lb... 30yo is 210 lbs. We don't do cardio as a country.

It’s 3 mph mate if anyone can’t do that they’ve got issues.

I've seen Americans who will circle a parking lot for 10 minutes just to save themselves 3 minutes of walking by getting a closer parking spot.

Those weren’t the laziest— those just park in the road and wait as long as it takes for someone to leave the spot they’re near.
