Even 10 minutes of exercise each day can help the most inactive, overweight women.
Researchers at Louisiana State University released a study saying that tests on overweight women showed that even small amounts of exercise–as little as 10 minutes per day- improved fitness and lowered their risk of early death.
Exercise does not need to be an "all or nothing" undertaking- you can get health benefits from even just minutes per day.
This is good news for those women who are already juggling to many things and can not find time to exercise. While the women in this study used stationary bikes and treadmills, researchers point out that any physical activity can improve oxygen intake and decrease waist circumference: both signs of fitness.
Walking for 10 minutes at lunch time, or even parking further away from the store can add up.
Exercise helps your stress level and your skin's appearance. Now that it can be beneficial in 10 minutes per day, that is even more reason to do it.
