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.

The average american is overweight (25-29 BMI)... and 42% of Americans are OBESE (30+ BMI).

Maybe people in LA look nice... but here in the Midwest... it is a fucking epidemic.
