11-minute exercise that cuts risks of stroke, cancer and heart disease, say scientists

Staying fit and healthy should be at the top of everyone's agenda and according to new research, Brits can get on track with 11 minutes of one particular, cost free, daily exercise. Reports published on the back of the research state that walking for just 11 minutes a day may slash risks of an early death.

Dr Soren Brage from the MRC Epidemiology Unit was quoted as saying: “If you are someone who finds the idea of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity a week a bit daunting, then our findings should be good news. Doing some physical activity is better than doing none."

While the NHS recommends the average adult should be getting 150 minutes of moderate, or 75 minutes of vigorous movement a week, according to a report in Daily Record, doing even a small amount of exercise each day, even a brisk walk, is better than doing nothing at all.
