Can 10 minutes of exercise lead to a healthier lifestyle? Yes but it is just a small step that can make a big difference with just starting with 10 minutes of vigorous exercise daily and then building upon that.
2. To be healthy requires being active and the goal is for
adults to be moderately active atleast 150 min/wk or 75
min/wk of vigorous intensity aerobic exercise in at least
10 min sessions.
3. What is a Healthy Lifestyle?
Health as defined by the World Health
Organization (WHO) is a state of complete
physical, mental and social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Lifestyle is defined as “a way of life or style of
living that reflects the attitudes and values of a
person or group” by the American Heritage
Dictionary of English
4. Yes doing more than just 1 session of 10 min
exercise to get your heart rate helps your body
change and progress.
Yes doing more than just 1
session of 10 min exercise to get
your heart rate helps your body
change and progress to a
healthier state….
But it requires consistency and at
least of moderate to high intensity.
5. Does 10 minutes have the same benefits
as 30 min straight of exercise does?
In a study conducted on
overweight college girls who
participated in new exercise
programs some with 30 min
straight. The study
concluded that small bouts
of exercise have similar
effects as extended bouts of
exercise.
6. The goal of being
healthy starts small
and though 10 min
exercise bouts seem
small to many of us.
10 mins of working
out and feeling the
results of it is the
first step to leading
a healthier life.
