YES!... according to TWO doctors I know directly.
20 to 30 minutes of increased cardiovascular by simply WALKING 5 times per week is as beneficial as jogging, stationary bike, etc.
They're point: Increased activity that allows the heart to pump more blood is an EXERCISE in and of itself that is HIGHLY BENEFICIAL to your HEALTH and HEART.
The challenge... just finding the time to DO IT!
Have you asked them what studies they are citing? I’ve looked for any studies that have compared longevity for those various exercises and haven’t found any. Okay - I haven’t done an exhaustive search.
Can you give us those studies? Thank you.
