> Might not be a bad idea, but necessary for fitness? Not so sure.

I agree, I'm not so sure as well, and anything that comes to making changes to your physical body should be consulted with a professional. That said, I have seen people using social media and they literally sit around on instagram/fb/twitter _all day_ with their neck and backs in some weird contorted position for 0 constructive/positive net gain for themselves or society.

Maybe instead of "delete social media" they should be encouraged to contribute. Use social media to foster good habits (rather than bad ones).

For example, starting/joining groups based around encouraging members to stick to fitness routines.

As he says posting on HN... This place (like any messageboard) can be as toxic as anywhere else in it's own way.

To an extent internet is a strong break to healthy activities. It sucks time and motivation.
