30 Minutes of Daily Exercise Ensures Healthier 2010
Peter Brubaker, professor of health and exercise science at Wake Forest University, said that regular daily exercise is the most important step towards a healthier lifestyle.
"People don't realize you can get tremendous benefit from regular physical activity even if you never lose a pound," he said.
Increased physical activity could ensure a reduced risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, bone and joint conditions, and sleep apnea.
Brubaker has put forth several tips for how to increase daily physical activity, which are as follows:
Set a goal of 30 minutes a day of physical activity- It doesn't need to be all at once. Five minutes here, 10 minutes there is fine. As long as it is done at moderate intensity, you will get sufficient health benefits.
Walk- For most people, the easiest and most efficient activity is simply walking.
Wear a pedometer- Recent studies have shown that people wearing pedometers increase their activity level by 25 percent.
Build activity into your daily routine- Get up from your desk to deliver a message. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Add some extra steps when you are doing household chores. Find small ways to get moving.
