By aerobic they mean cardio, and 5 hours a week is a lot. I wonder what % of America can honestly say they are meeting or exceeding those requirements?
The majority of people I talk to who aren’t immediate family (I come from an athletic family), such as friends and co-workers say they exclusively just lift weights
Over time I have kind of adopted the cynical perception that everyone hates cardio and almost no one does it…

I hate running on treadmills, but I'm lucky to live in a beautiful rural area with lots of steep hills, and just walking a few miles of those is great cardio. Weights\building muscle mass is better for losing fat if that's your goal though. Both are important!
If you can watch the carbs and maintain steady lean protein intake, it's not too hard to be in shape and still eat nearly anything you want, just moderate.
It's always funny in MMA post-fight press conferences where some dude who is in amazing physical condition is just sitting there eating a big slice of pizza answering questions.
