After class, she goes out with her friend for a brisk half hour walk five times a week. She also enjoys dancing in her spare time.

Solution
Jane is sufficiently active in her leisure time as long as she maintains her walks with her friend. While she does spend a lot of time sitting for her online classes, she makes an effort to move around in between classes and has regular physical activities such as walking and dancing. Her mode of transportation is not ideal due to the lack of public transport and the hilly area she lives in, but it's not a major concern in terms of her overall physical activity. It would be beneficial for Jane to incorporate some stretching or light exercises during her study breaks to reduce the amount of time she spends sitting.
