A recent article written by LA Times Staff Writer, Jeannine Stein reports – SOME exercise is good, but more is better — at least when it comes to cutting risk of death in the immediate future.
Moderate fitness isn’t that difficult to achieve, says Peter Kokkinos, director of an exercise testing lab at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and lead author of the study published last week online in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Assn. “You need to take a brisk walk for 30 minutes four to six times a week. It’s not as easy as taking a pill, but let’s be reasonable here.”
But upping that activity into a fitter zone, which ultimately yields more benefits, doesn’t take much more: “…push yourself a little bit,” he says.
