Two years ago I was 306 lbs and 40% body fat

I exercised 3-4 days a week for about 30 minutes. It helped.

Then I got my diet in order and started dropping weight and exercise became more fun. I started doing 30-60 minutes a day. I lost weight and started feeling much better.

Since COVID I've felt cooped up so I get out and work out more (1-2 hours a day). I haven't felt this good since I was a teenager (I'm in my 40s). I'm not shredded but I have more energy, have more fun with my kids, and like the idea of having muscles.

Exercise is good.

I miss my hour workouts at lunch now that my gym is closed. It almost affects me

I usually do about 90 minutes 4-5 times per week.

Depends on whether or not it causes a person to neglect more important things

Agreed. However, I've found that as I've exercised I've had more energy which

Depends. Running an hour a day at a 7:00 pace is demonstrably worse for you

Sounds more like a minimum.

Only if your family/career are suffering, or if you’re getting overuse injuries.

Agreed. If, in this way, it meets the definition of addiction then it has gone too far

I do think an hour a day pales in comparison to what diabetes, obesity, or high

I think an hour a day is fine as long as you are properly stretching first
