RE: Sports, my experience with these.
Once, talking to an athlete's doctor, he told me that walking at work is not considered exercise, since it is done under stress, and that causes other neurotransmitters to be released, different from those produced when we walk or exercise for the pleasure of doing them.
I disagree with that. While walking to work can involve different paths and beautiful nature. I always enjoy the change of nature, for example now when you walk through the piles of dry leaves, I recall my childhood and that already gives me endorphines. Often we can see squirrels climbing hte trees or hiding nuts. I also love spring with such sweet and different from each other smell of blossom and flowers. I love winter with its white snow carpet and this crunchy sound of fresh snow. Of course, it is only possible when people look around and listen to the sounds around us, but I see many who just walk with large ear-phones and only looking at the mobile phone display, in such case I agree that walking is just walking.

It is that last part that I refer to. It is not just the fact of walking in a pleasant way to work; we know that endorphins are a stimulus. It is walking under stress, with the thought that you must do this and that, with a quick, clumsy step if you will. Producing adrenaline, instead of helping you, consumes your life more. It is this type of walking that my friend was referring to.
Wow, buddy, this is very interesting. I'm glad to hear it. Sometimes we spend the whole day walking and running, and that's not exercise, since we're doing it under stress, as you mentioned in your comment.
