How sedentary is fit?

now before you're all like, "wtf i lift stfu you stupid fag!" let me talk to you about the apple watch.

i own an apple watch and absolutely love it. idk if you know much about it, but it's most often marketed as a fitbit-type device to help people get active and better themselves physically. the main pull of the device for people looking to track their fitness stuff is the "activity" app.

the activity app was actually designed with the help of athlete consultants. and it was designed with people of all activity levels in mind, from the morbidly obese person trying to walk more to the professional athlete. and part of the conclusion apple came to in regards to the very physically fit people was that they are still too sedentary. professional athletes will work their bodies super hard for x many hours, then go home and sit around doing nothing until bedtime. which is unhealthy, and bad. it can lead to things like blood clots even in physically fit people, especially in the older population.

we see these nifty "standing desks" and things trying to combat this. it's a real problem in need of real solutions. so my question to you is: do you still sit too much? do you walk at all throughout the day, or only get your standing/moving time in during the hours set aside for exercise?

i'm very guilty of this and trying to figure out how i can stay more active throughout the day. thankfully my job (for now) requires me to be on my feet most of the time, so this helps. but when i'm at home, not exercising? i'm sitting on my butt lol.

btw disclaimer as i know people will mention it. i'm not "shilling" for the apple watch. in all honesty the apple watch is crazy bad at tracking strength training stuff. because of the work the muscles do and the "pump" from strength training, the watch is not at all accurate in measuring heart rate while lifting. so the calorie counter (which is already a rough estimate) is basically pure fiction when strength training.
