50 minutes to better health
If fitness and weight control means 50 minutes of exercise a day, I still have about 10 minutes a day to add to my regimen. I've been trying for about 40 minutes of activity each day. Those of us who sit at computers a great deal of the day are probably in need of exercise even more than the average worker. I learned last year that one can sneak in a lot of exercise by taking several short sessions throughout a day, particularly following injury or surgery. A 50-minute walk may sound daunting if you're recovering from a sprain or medical procedure, but three or four 15-minute sessions might get you back on track. And even on the days when you don't get four-sessions done, you'll know you got at least a bit of exercise. You'll have less of a tendency to give up over the larger task if you can take it in easier steps.
