20 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise appears likely to reduce gallbladder disease, UTIs, blood clots, stroke, diabetes complications, pneumonia, iron-deficiency anemia, colon polyps and diverticular disease.

Everybody should have two streams of exercise to do during the day.

A main workout, whether it be weights or calisthenics or swimming or something.
Then they should have a calisthenics program they can do in bits in pieces just to keep limber.

How many cigarettes/cups of coffee equal 20 minutes of exercise?

Working from home for the past three years has gotten me out of shape. Got tired more easily, needed more naps, and then the last straw started having shoulder impingement pain making it hard to do my job (on the computer all the time).

Finally started eating healthy and exercising and wow it has made a difference. Shoulder pain is getting better as the shoulder muscles are toned. Got more energy. Don't feel the need for a nap.

Had to get painful before I turned it around though. Probably should have started earlier.

Does exercise make you healthier or does being healthier lead to more exercise?

Does that mean that I can run away fast enough that they can’t catch me?

Question... Does that include mental hospitals?

Diet plays a part too. People who exercise eat better. This one factor study is flawed.

Is the goal to stay out of the hospital or out of the funeral parlor? Big difference.

My lifestyle is modeled after neighbors and my dad that lived to be in their late 80’s to mid 90’s. All of them had a daily routine that involved physical labor that included much lifting, much walking, machine running etc. That included splitting wood by hand, walking through brush filled woods mending fences, shoveling snow, walking behind a garden tiller, or mower, wood or mechanical shop projects. Anything physical that keeps a person away from the computer or TV.

Now this does not keep one out of the hospital, for joints need replacing, which should be done early. My knee doctor said they stop doing this at 80. The sooner it gets done in life the higher quality of life a person has.

My brother retired with a TV remote in one hand and six pack of beer in the other and died young.

It really is important, but I have a hard time making myself do it. I admire people who have the self discipline to do it.

Just 20 minutes of daily exercise can keep you out of the hospital, unless of course you have been vaxxed.

I am 66 and when I was younger had multiple knee surgeries and have always had trouble kneeling and skiing. Sitting on the lifts when it is cold and with heavy equipment on always killed me. Also driving in a car for more than a couple of hours my knees would be stiff.

I started doing knees-over-toes guys’ stuff. He has weird things like walking backward on a treadmill and strange ‘Keep On Trucking” (poster in the 70’s) like steps. I gotta tell you I can go full down into a squat with no problems and I went skiing hard with just a 1/2 hour lunch on all expert runs yesterday and I didn’t hear a peep from my knees.

So there is something to this exercise stuff.
