Walking for just 11 minutes a day may slash risks of an early death, according to new research.
The average adult should be getting 150 minutes of moderate, or 75 minutes of vigorous movement a week, according to the NHS. But it turns out doing even a small amount of exercise each day, even a brisk walk, is better than doing nothing at all.
That's what experts at the University of Cambridge say in a study published on Tuesday in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Findings show that one in 10 premature deaths could be prevented if everyone did at least half the advised amount of physical activity.
