Good idea to tell them an actual number. If I only knew those numbers myself
We both don't train for any events, so officially are no serious athletes. We live without a car, so do everything including commuting on bike, and usually get an extra hour of exercise per day by running, going on a MTB-ride or doing weight training. And we spend our weekends with long bike tours.
So, without being serious about the sports we do, we still do more of it than most people I know (but less than a lot of you on TE).

It's a bit difficult to communicate this sometimes

Regarding your question Tulip, I go when I think something is so wrong that it won't heal by itself, and I try to do the annual checkups.
