Transportation...or Lack Thereof and Obesity

I, the Fruit Punch Samurai posed the question to a buddy of mine, and found out something really funny once I really started to contemplate it. it was this: Would you or could you give up driving a car for a week and still manage to get from place to place on time if necessary? That wacky silver-haired idiot (Gintoki) thought about it for not even a moment only to realize that he would never find such a thing possible. It wasn't only him who thought so... The whole Yorozuya found it impossible (Which left me laughing my head off for a while). Gintoki told me of this one time when he needed a ride to the beach only to nearly die attempting to reach there on foot.

Now let's not pull any punches, Gintoki is the kind of idiot who would kill himself with diabetes due to his unhealthy sugar intake, and add practically no daily physical activity or exercise and in a few years you'll have a fat, silver-haired diabetic with heart problems. Heart problems are the among the leading cause of death for men and women, and has anyone actually thought for a moment the reason why? I think I can sum it up in two sentences:

If people don't get the proper exercise and aren't careful with what they eat, the risk of heart problems increases manifold. Now the reason exercise is often not acheived on a good daily basis for those who don't consciously develop an exercise regimen is likely due to the fact that people don't walk, they don't run, or move very much on a daily basis.

I have been trying to avoid nonphysical transportation if I can help it (cars, motorcycles) and stick to the basics (Walking and biking) to keep me healthy and have been doing so for 3 years now. So if anyone tells you it can't be done...They're lying because I can bet that either they've never tried or they likely won't try because they're lazy or afraid of taking the extra mile. And if I can manage to do this (even when I'm often on the run) anyone can.
