A new large-scale study provides further support for the idea thateven a little bitofintense exercisecan benefit you.
From the abstract:
During a mean follow-up of 15 years, 3,413 all-cause and 1,217 cardiovascular deaths occurred.
Approximately 24% of adults participated in running in this population.
Vigorously pedal a stationary bike.
Or choose any other strenuous activity.
Five minutes of taxing effort might add years to your life.
Tl;dr: If you want to stick around a little longer, no more excuses.
It doesn’t have to take long.
