When I'm around town, I'd rather take the public transit or walk. However, a vehicle, which now for the first time in two-years, i have access to, is good for emergencies and long trips.

fitness Does Driving Vehicles Make People Lazy?

This general fitness thread covers all aspects of fitness, including workouts, nutrition, wellness tips, lifestyle changes, and fitness advice.
There is a need for balance, just like you do, when it comes to driving. A car owner should know when to take a walk and when to drive. It is what is going to make the person stay in shape.
The purpose of having a car is to make things easier for oneself. That should never be mistaken for laziness. I'd rather drive and get to my destination as fast as possible than take a walk.
Driving is preferable to public transport with the number of idiots you meet on it.
Using public transportation can be looked at as being lazier than driving your own vehicle. The reason being, one you have to wait on them and if you're using the bus, you have to walk to where THEY pick you up. Two, you have to pay THEM to come get you. Is it good for say vacation destinations like Disney? Yes. But if I'm choosing to ride the bus to work over driving my own car, that's being lazy.
That's how my mother was so used to driving that she just didn't notice when she became obese. I believe that if one is about to go buy something around the neighborhood early in the mornings or evenings, they could just trek down there. Cars are actually making people not to exercise and they ultimately become lazy.
I can't drive and I cannot use public transport due to difficulties with being with others so on the rare occasions I have to go out (medical appointments), I am driven there.
There's no doubt my physical fitness declines with a car, unless I walk everyday, and drive a car.
I can't afford to be that sensitive.
Technology in general makes people lazy.
Take that away, and we all have to go back to manual anything, and we'd all be skinny and strong people.

Sensitivity doesn't come into it, Jason. I am on the autism spectrum and people just do my nut.
No, cars have nothing to do with people being lazy. If a person is lazy to begin with, its not because they drive.

Driving brings convenience for some certain situations but when we overuse it, it can contribute to laziness. This is why a balanced approach is required, like using public transit or walking sometimes.

I wouldn't say that driving vehicles makes people lazy. I am someone who is learning to drive as I struggle to get around walking as much as I used to due to a health issue, and at the moment, I have to take public transport, would much rather and feel more comfortable having my own vehicle.
Driving certainly makes people lazy. These days people take their car even when they could reach there in 10 minutes walk.
If they don't walk at all then yes, but if they compensate by doing cardio exercise then there wouldn't be any problem.
Some people are certainly lazy, they drive even when it takes just 10 minutes of walking
One thing that I absolutely love about my current workplace is that it is at walkable distance. It takes me 10_15 minutes to walk down and I walk to my workplace. Only when it is raining, I have to take my car. I avoid driving as much as possible. When it rains, I ask my colleague to pick me or drop me. She stays close to me, but drives everyday.
