Some people think the best way to stay fit is joining a gym/health club while others think doing everyday activities such as walking and climbing stairs is sufficient. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Most of the time people that go to gym have their specific goals in mind. Some of them wish to gain muscles. Others want increase their endurance and agility. Some people join to attend yoga classes or dance classes. Others want to lose their weight. All of these desires are obviously nice to have. And achieving them is an excellent motivation. Fitness just becomes a side-effect. Aside from that, they get to learn new things. They keep on improving on what they do and as a result gives them motivation and happiness. It is also said that performing rigid exercises reduces stress. Downside is it is much more difficult to maintain this lifestyle due to the fact that it is time consuming and is physically as well as more mentally challenging.

On the other hand, intentionally walking instead of talking the bus for example or climbing the stairs even when there is an escalator available means the person may at first consciously trying to stay fit for the sake of the person's well being. Eventually the person will get used on doing these activities and ultimately become part of their lifestyle. This route is good for people that do not have enough time and are not really keen attending gym related activities.

In my opinion both ways are different in their own style but are admirable approaches of becoming healthy. Other than exercises, eating nutritious food is a must and should always be included as part of the daily activities. As long as the person stays consistent, fitness is guaranteed.
