Answer:The absence of physical activity in his daily routine

Explanation:Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure. Physical activity encompasses all activities, at any intensity, performed during any time of day or night. It includes exercise and incidental activity integrated into daily activity.

The four main types of physical activity are aerobic, muscle-strengthening, bone-strengthening, and stretching.

Some examples of physical activity are:

Going for a walk, bike, or run (join our indoor walking program).

Doing household chores.

Taking the stairs instead of the elevator.

Playing at the park.

Raking leaves or shovelling snow.
