[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're not working to lose weight OP, why bother working out at all if it's that much of an issue to work it into your schedule?

You can get great benefits from just 2500 steps daily, and surely you can manage a walk like that at lunchtime.

Spend some time doing a kettlebell workout in front of the TV in the evenings for the strength training benefits.

90% of weight loss is diet not workout, but the walking and weights will help with mental health etc. and neither is likely to make you sweat. Cardio is WAY overrated.[/quote]

You’re right it is about diet. 
I’m curious why cardio is overrated though. [/quote]

Cardio doesn't burn as many calories as people think, and intense cardio drives hunger - ask the typical athlete how many calories they consume.

There is a lot of research now that proves a daily walk at moderate to brisk pace has major benefits in terms of heart health and mental health. Weight training just 15-30 minutes daily can preserve muscle mass as we age and boost metabolism to help with fat loss. But diet is 90% of the equation.
