Here's something I know is true because I am that dude.

Yup, and you've probably done the same.

The more time you spend engaging in a structured exercise routine, such as going to the gym or running, the more likely you are to cut back on other physical daily activities, according to a recent study…

The team found that a person who is more engaged in a routine exercise program is more prone to "lounge around" and avoid other, non-structured physical daily activities, like taking the stairs.

Me after my 30-minute exercise routine in the basement:

Not gonna lie, that's usually what happens. It's like, bro, I worked out, time to just chill the entire rest of the day. Once that workout has been logged, that's it, I can just veg out.

But I should be doing these things:

"If people are seeking weight loss, they should be aware of their non-exercise physical activity (NEPA) — activities such as walking the dog, riding a bike to work or standing at the desk at work," study author Julie Marvel Mansfeldt, a graduate student at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports (NEXS), told Fox News Digital.

"If these activities are suddenly stopped, the total daily energy expenditure is less than expected — and thus the weight loss will be less than expected," she added.

I guess this makes sense, but I mean, shouldn't I get more credit for doing my exercise routine? Why do you have to make me feel bad for being an in-shape couch potato?

I'm offended, and now I gotta go blow off some steam in the weight room.

And y'all know what I'll be doing afterwards.
