An article reported a study showing short amounts of exercise can improve health.
Main point: “…getting up and walking around for just five minutes at a time can undo the impact of a lack of exercise.”
More about it:
- “Throughout the epidemic, the results showed a marked decrease in the amount of physical activity the participants did each day.”
- “…people spent less time on light activities and moved less frequently in general.”
- “…researchers suggested that people move their bodies for five minutes at any hour during the day.”
- “…it’s recommended to spend 30 minutes each day on additional light activities.”
Why it matters:
- World Health Organization repeated Nordic Walking Guy’s 3rd rule: “Everything counts.”
- When you step out the door to Nordic walk, you can start exercising immediately. This makes Nordic walking a very efficient way to get those minutes of activity.
