Did you know...how much?

How much should you exercise?

Some research suggests 20 minutes of high intensity interval training will get the job done, other study finds an hour/day yields most benefit for weight management.

Points of interest:

"some is better than none. More is better than some. Too much is difficult to get." (Stephen Ball, associate professor of nutrition and exercise physiology at the University of Missouri)

"It's uncomfortable exercise. It's high intensity, so it hurts."

"The amount of time a person should exercise depends on his or her fitness goals..."

"If you take in lots of calories, it doesn't matter how much you exercise."
