"Recently, the American College of Sports Medicine created a fitness pyramid, based on the Food Guide Pyramid, that puts inactivity at its apex and 'lifestyle fitness activity' as its base. Active sports and weight-training are in the middle, which implies that the moves you make every day—gardening, cleaning, walking the dog—contribute more to your overall health than a monthly bike ride or weekend warriorhood."
