    The sign is clearly made by a layperson who is using colloquialisms (colloquials? General terms for concepts they don’t fully understand).

    The intent of the sign is also pretty clear. One option you burn calories (seen as good since most people don’t move enough) and the other you don’t. They also tried to tie in (electrical) energy conservation for the people that care about it.

    Why not make an improved sign and replace it of it bothers you so much? Or, don’t let a sign bother you when the intent is clear and the message is likely understood by most people.

    At the end of the day it’s a sign trying to get people to exercise more, which I think most could agree is useful.
