Saturday, September 07, 2002The guidelines writers, however, have evidently recognized their mistake in pushing the envelope for exercise so far. The stories today give the guidelines the spin that the exercise doesn’t have to be one continuous hour, but can be all the exercise you do in a day added up. Few people are so sedentary that they don’t move around for at least one hour in the day. Any activity, of course, is better than no activity, but exercise is most beneficial when it’s done as sustained exercise. Having gone too far in their enthusiasm for exercise for most of us, they’re now downplaying the recommendations to the point that they won’t be of much benefit. You have to wonder why bother? UPDATE: RangelMD thinks the recommendations are batty, too. posted by Sydney on 9/07/2002 08:28:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
