500 calories is about 40 minutes of running for me, if it weren't for my running injury I'd be doing that about 5 days a week or like an hour bike ride on road (which is what I do now at zone 1/2). I think a lot of people are capable of working up to that, but that's totally dependent on if they like it.

I was thinking more of maintaining fitness from youth and not weight loss. And out of highschool I don't think this is like a crazy amount of exercise (one of my friends was running 100 miles a week in highschool, that's crazy).

But if people have a fun way to stay active, that they enjoy doing. I don't think obesity would be a big problem. I think encouraging a healthy lifestyle starts from childhood and I think access is a big part of that.

Yeah, that I can agree with. Maintaining is much easier than losing.
