I mean, it’s weird to encourage people not to increase their physical activity if they’re trying to manage their weight.
While it’s true you can’t out-train a bad diet, exercising, even for just 30 minutes every other day will go a long. Running a 5k will take about half an hour depending on your fitness level and will burn a good 350 calories or so, more if you’re overweight. Do that 3 times a week and that’s the equivalent of a about 2 meals you’ve burnt off (or one really unhealthy meal). Plus getting outside and exercising is good for your mental health.
Great question - but semi related, I really enjoy sim racing despite rarely driving a car in real life (maybe once a fortnight).
The metaverse doesn’t appeal to me, or most people, but there’s something to be said about jumping in VR and taking a car to a track virtually with a good force feedback wheel, nice load cell pedals and a H-pattern shifter.
Heck I even enjoy euro truck simulator from time to time.
When the calories burnt equate to food you can then eat maybe it's a problem... (lemmy.world)
