Walking breaks do add up for your health!

This is the second time that I have seen information about small doses of exercise adding up.

Dr. Joe Logar gave the Aging Hunter presentation at the Great American Outdoor Show last month, where he introduced the study of the 10 minute exercise period.

Now, the NYTimes is publishing almost the same information. Those 10 minute breaks walking or exercising will help overall longevity, and those minutes do add up.

Walk for two minutes. Repeat 15 times. Or walk for 10 minutes, thrice. The benefits for longevity appear to be almost exactly the same, according to an inspiring new study of physical activity patterns and life spans.

It finds that exercise does not have to be prolonged in order to be beneficial. It just has to be frequent.

Have been trying to take the stairs lately at work. I'm up and down 2 flights about 10 times a day and up and down 5 flights at least once or twice a day. Have noticed I'm no longer winded when doing 5 flights at a brisk pace.

While anything is better than nothing for muscle tone , a few years ago looked into it from a cardiovascular viewpoint . The research then pointed to minimum of 15min in the appropriate heart rate zone for benefits, 20minutes better .

The most important thing is to steadily increase the exposure. Otherwise there will be no gains (bro). The body adapts exactly to the stimulus it experiences.
