A study shows that the amount of exercise a person engages in per week may be more important than the intensity of the exercise.
The amount of exercise a person engages in per week may be more important than the intensity of the exercise. A study, showed that adults who participate in mild exercise, such as walking briskly for 12 miles or exercising for 125 to 200 minutes a week (less then 30 minutes a day) at moderate intensity can significantly improve their aerobic fitness and reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease. Unlike most exercise interventions, this finding suggests that amount may be equally or more important as exercise intensity.
