So why people prefer ZZ than "moving around"? What can ZZ gives you that 5 miles walking won't be able to give you?

If we are talking about "health" only, I truly don't know which one is better.

I'm going to the Galcier National Park again this summer and I'll hike my favor 20 miles loop in Two Medicine Lakes again. I do hope that I can till finish it within 10 hours (it involve steep claiming).

Do you want to spend 2 hour in walking or standing daily (or 1 hour each) when you are 70 years old? My cousin is 70 years old. He lives in Vancouver and he walked at least 6 miles everyday. He is not MA guy but he has excellent health for his age. Another benefit that I can see for walking is you can always see different thing and meet different people.
One Qi Gong master once told me that if you can walk 6 miles daily, you can detect all your body problems and fix it at the same time. I have a personal believe that whenever I feel sick, I'll put on my running shoes and force myself to run 5 miles. After 5 miles running, all my problem will be gone (or my body will be too tired to feel sick any more). Sweating can fix a lot of problems (such as drop body temperature) IMPO.
someone is too sick or too old to run? That's when standing ... comes in.
