I thought that was the case but I think maybe getting into some activities might help

Toddlers definitely always seem to be on the go, and defiance is definitely part of having a two year old! I found keeping them busy helps and establishing clear limits and time outs helps! Also redirection at this age can be a lifesaver! It does sound a lot like typical 2 to 3 year old behavior!
