An extensive study, involving records from more than 116,000 people over the course of 30 years, has found that moderate amounts of physical activity for between 300 and 600 minutes could be the sweet spot when it comes to reducing mortality risk.
And if you make those workouts a little more intense, you can tap out at just 150 to 300 minutes per week, while being satisfied your body will likely reap the same rewards.
We're all going to die of course – it's just a question of when. But according to the new research, that broad 150-600 minute window brings the most benefits in terms of extending lifespans and reducing the risk of dying from causes other than old age. The research looked at problems associated with the cardiovascular system in particular, and suggests that while over-exercising isn't a problem in terms of heart health, it also doesn't do much in terms of reducing the risk of an early death.
"The potential impact of physical activity on health is great, yet it remains unclear whether engaging in high levels of prolonged, vigorous or moderate intensity physical activity above the recommended levels provides any additional benefits or harmful effects on cardiovascular health,"
