Even A Little Exercise Is Good For Reducing Heart Disease Risk

Liars.

Look at what they call "a little exercise."

If you want to reduce your coronary heart disease risk, remember that even a little bit of exercise helps, it is better than none at all, and the more you do the better the benefit, researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health reported in Circulation.

Those who do 150 minutes of "moderate-intensity leisure activity" have a 14% lower chance of developing coronary heart disease compared to individuals who are physically inactive, the researchers explained.

The authors added that the more exercise you do the lower the risk. They found that individuals who engaged in the equivalent of 300 minutes of moderate-intensity leisure-time physical activity per week had a 20% lower risk of developing coronary heart disease.

Even if you do less than the 2 hours 30 minutes moderate exercise each week, which US authorities recommend, your risk of developing coronary heart disease is still much less than for someone who does nothing.

Jacob Sattelmair, ScD., said:

"The overall findings of the study corroborate federal guidelines - even a little bit of exercise is good, but more is better - 150 minutes of exercise per week is beneficial, 300 minutes per week will give even more benefits."

Exercise is a terribly inefficient way to shed pounds and will almost never improve fitness.

Only TRAINING will.

You are better off eating fewer Calories to get your BMI to between 18.5 and 24.9.
