yes. I have much farther to go to get to the coffee machine or washroom, and people flag me down on the way to talk about whatever problem they’re having. or I give a hand to someone who is moving something, or just take a minute to stand and see how the progress is on building the machine
for me, very much different from just sitting or standing in front of my desk and going ten steps to the bathroom and 25 to the kitchen
also for the second part, it’s a lot easier to fall into the trap of never going “out” if you wfh and are already set to get comfy on the couch. if you have a commute, you’re already out. lower barrier. not a big one, and mostly mental - but it’s there. which is why common advice that I very much agree with is to create some sort of commute when you wfh, even if that’s just a two minute walk around the block.
If you have the time to do it at the office you have the time to do the equivalent at home. If your problem is that you need some kind of goal to get your exercise, I can only really say to make exercise your goal (get over yourself).
