The American Heart Association recommends 40 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise three to four times a week to lower the risk of heart attack and stroke. However, more than 80% of adults don’t meet these guidelines. Don’t have 30 minutes? Take three. In a Japanese study, moderate-intensity physical activity lasting 32 seconds to 3 minutes was associated with improvements in components of metabolic syndrome (waist circumference, blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood fat levels).
Integrating short bouts of activity throughout the day can be a healthy first step toward adopting a more active and happy lifestyle.
