For you who are busy all the time, with your family, with your career or with your study, spending 1-2 hours of your precious time everyday at the gym seems very hard! But if you don't do any activities, you won't stay fit and healthy.

The question is, can we stay fit outside the gym ?

Physical activities don't always mean you have to go to the gym. Your daily routine activities like grocery shopping or gardening can increase your fitness level and burn calories at the same time.

Does it mean we no longer need gym?

Doing exercise at the gym and doing daily activities are still different. By doing daily activities you cannot control the intensity and level of your exercise, while exercise at the gym is promising a monitored and structured intensity of each exercise.

So, the good thing is you can still do your daily routine activities without feeling guilty, as the activities still make you fit. However it is better if you spend also once or twice a week to have exercises at the gym.
