    And “fit” doesn’t have to mean “able to run a marathon”.

    True, but many people cannot jog a mile. Let alone a flight of stairs.

      True! Let’s encourage them to work towards goals that seem attainable and worthwhile.

      Sometimes, just small changes can make a big difference to the individual. I used to take the elevator to my 5th-floor office. Now I take the stairs. The only conscious change to my routine was converting from carrying a bag/purse to carrying a backpack–I carry the same amount of stuff more comfortably, and so the stairs don’t seem daunting.
