> Find more moments to move throughout your day. While your food’s heating up, do some squats or take a lap around your work building instead of scrolling through social media. When you’re running errands, park as far away from stores as possible. Getting coffee with a friend? Catch up during a walk in the park instead of sitting in the coffee shop.
The last one about taking a walk with a friend sounds nice, but the other ones sound like the worst ways to get activity ever
Constantly forcing yourself to do things is hard and probably will fail. If you find things you enjoy doing, getting activity can be a treat rather than a chore, regardless if it's taking a dog for a walk, going to every museum in town, or finding a sport you like
Part of what the article says is "Adults need at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise per week, according to the World Health Organization."
It bugs me when people leave out the units. The title says we need 150-300 minutes of activity on our adult lifetime, which is woefully inadequate.
Here’s the actual study: https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2024/10/07/bjsports-2024-...
49 minutes of walking a day is higher then I woukd have guessed for the lowest quartile. Office/desk work is brutal for getting movement in.

... per week.
(Or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous exercise.)

Did they control for weight? Because overweight and obese people are likely to have both shorter lifespan and more sedentary lifestyle.
