"Light exercise" reduces death risk by 60%
I took up the bicycle purely as a way to lose weight, when I realized it was out of control. But for many, there is not as obvious a trigger for action as the number on the scale. A new study gives us a really good number to get us onto a bike: 60% increased survival rate for those who do light exercise. The increase was seen by those who did only 50 minutes of walking or bicycling three-times-a-week, saw huge gains in their survival rate. This was especially pronounced for those under high stress from their jobs or other life circumstances.
If you ever needed a reason to get onto two wheels, this has got to be it!
