is "one form of exercise a day". One form? So strictly speaking,
twenty separate walks a day is fine, ten walks and ten bike rides is
not. I know I'm splitting hairs but I do wish that these things could
be written by people who know how to use the language. If you mean "one
period of exercise" then say so.

It would also help if the authors were not townies.

Is a country mile run different from a London mile run.

I class going to the shops as exercise, walking then carrying stuff home,
try carrying 10 litres of cat litter in each hand.
For DIY how about carrying 12LG of plaster or whatever I'd call that exercise too !
