Yep. Also, not sure why but a lot of desis I’ve seen as opposed to westerners take formal exercise as almost- insulting? Hard to describe. It’s like they are proud to have pot bellies, and call that “sayhat mand” when it’s the opposite of health.
Indians are more progressive on this issue and I also feel Pathans are also naturally active and athletic Rest of Asia to the far east are very active. Riding bikes and walking everywhere and healthy food and portions. Levant arabs as well are decently into exercise as well, not so much GCC. Some of the best ever bodybuilders were Egyptian and Lebanese.
Desi diet + general lethargy and exercise is just 10-15 mins of Tahel pahel in the neighborhood and that’s it.
Even on here some guy was like I can’t even do 5 mins on treadmill without watching or listening to something interesting… that’s how detached from exercise we have become
