I walk for 2 mins every day. Is that good or should I do better?

I feel like I could do more exercise.

    I'm assuming that's a type-o? Maybe you meant 20 minutes?

    Is it more than you could do before? Then it's good. Keep progressing by increasing time or speed.

    2 mins? I would hope that's a typo. Regardless if you feel you could do more then do more

    20 minutes is good but there's no reason why you can't do more if you want to. With my Fitbit I frequently have over 30 minutes every day of activity

    IDK, 2 minutes kind of falls in line with his other post: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/42786507#Comment_42786507

    2 minutes? I feel like we need more information. Are you an able bodied person? Just from walking around the office during the day is probably a lot more than 2 minutes

    Be bold, be brave. Throw caution to the wind and walk 3 minutes.

    I think if you really push yourself you could do 3 minutes.

    Try hopping on one foot for 2 minutes instead. Or maybe mix it up and play hopscotch.

    Two minutes, does that include walking to the bathroom or walking to the refrigerator?

    I'm training to ride a metric quarter century on the bike. Does anyone have any idea how I can fuel for that?

    25 metres? I think that calls for a Big Mac and fries. :tongue:

    Beer and rolled tacos.

    I think I better eat both of these suggestions, you know, to play it safe.

    NHS England recommends: Guidelines for adults aged 19 to 64
    To stay healthy, adults aged 19 to 64 should try to be active daily and should do:

    at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity such as cycling or brisk walking every week and
    strength exercises on 2 or more days a week that work all the major muscles (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders and arms)
    Or:

    75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity such as running or a game of singles tennis every week and
    strength exercises on 2 or more days a week that work all the major muscles (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders and arms)
    Or:

    a mix of moderate and vigorous aerobic activity every week – for example, two 30-minute runs plus 30 minutes of brisk walking equates to 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity and
    strength exercises on 2 or more days a week that work all the major muscles (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders and arms)
