Thanks for the info but I will stick with walking long distances and keep away from any rigorous joint damaging exercises.

I dont need a study to tell me that exercise is good for my health!

But it is depend on the kind of exercise.

Too many people got injured or end up in hospital by doing the wrong exercise or overdo it. (including me!)

Just for information, the guideline for walking as moderate exercise is close to 5km/h or faster. The actual speed will depend on your heart rate, because what we are talking about here is cardiac health.

I'm self employed and live in the mountains, so I get to exercise a lot, but even 150 minutes a week strikes me as a lot if you are working 45 hours a week in an office with a one hour commute. It must be very easy to not do it. 300 minutes a week will likely mean getting up and doing it before work, gym four times a week, Zwift, or going for runs even when it is raining.

One of my lifelong friends had to have a toe amputated because he exercised despite pain in the foot. I think he was concentrating on exercising to the exclusion of the pain.

Good advice. Exercise is good.

Just because you’re sweating it doesn’t mean you’re exercising, but if you’re not sweating, you’re probably not exercising.

Just because you’re sweating it doesn’t mean you’re exercising, but if you’re not sweating, you’re probably not exercising.

I disagree with this blanket assertion. I can do all sorts of exercising without sweating. Some people sweat less than others. Other people live in colder climates where you don't sweat as much.
