I found this chart today on the No Impact Man blog. It shows the benefits of walking, cycling or using public transportation, as opposed to driving a car, in relation to the obesity rates of various countries. The author of the blog, Colin Beavin, is on month 10 of a year-long project to live more sustainably, and he and his family have not driven since the project began, and so have all lost weight. I can attest to the fact that during the time I lived in Japan and used public transport only (or just my feet), I never had to use a formal exercise program.
