    Another great graphic. I am in the category of watching at least 2 hours of TV per day. Usually in the evening between the hours of 8:00-10:00 PM. I typically have my last burst of activity (walking) between 5:00-6:00 PM doing laps at the retirement home while my Mom is eating her dinner. Hopefully my activity during the day will counteract those 2 hours of TV viewing.
