Activity- A little or a lot?

By Bryon Zirker

If you heeded the cardio freaks of the fitness and
exercize realm you might be getting ready for your
daily 12 mile run you think you need to stay fit.
Hold on to your sneakers one minute.

A study that was published in the Archives of Internal
Medicine, where a group of researchers studied 252,925
women and men between the ages 50 to 71. Those who
were getting a moderate amount of exercise(30 minutes
or more on most days of the week) saw a 27 percent
decreased risk of death.

For those that endured vigorous exercise (starting with
20 minutes or more three times per week) had a 32 percent
decreased risk of death. Get this, those who actually did
less activity than the minimum recommended amount of
moderate exercise had a reduced risk of death in comparison
to inactive people.


Hmmmmm, it seems that a small amount of exercise will
help a lot to reduce ones risk of death. So if running
that 12 miles is really getting old not to mention a time
killer, keep in mind that a brisk 30 minutes of walking
each day can be all that you need.
