We know we’re supposed to exercise, and we know we’re supposed to do it often. But how often? What’s the most effective exercise routine to extend your longevity? According to researchers, the good news is that exercise routines can vary day to day and still be equally effective.
“It’s recommended that you exercise for at least 150 minutes a week,” says Keith Diaz, assistant professor of behavioral medicine at Columbia University Medical Center. “You can exercise 30 minutes a day for five days, you can do longer workouts on the weekends or anything in between. All that matters is that you get it in.”
