Would something like family responsibilities count?

@chxm334 years ago

if it’s something like taking care of siblings/acting as a step-in parent, earning income for the family, working at a family restaurant, etc. then yes

Going to the gym is a very admirable thing, but it cannot be an extracurricular activity. You need to quantify the activity. Do you compete? Have you reached a milestone or earned an achievement? Those would show that you're not just there walking on the treadmill.
