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

    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)

    Not sure what you are actually doing but it is pretty normal to gradually increase your time, steps/distance. If you feel you can walk more than you are then go ahead and increase by a bit. Don't go from 2 minutes to 2 hours of walking I suppose. Maybe aim for 10-15 minutes of walking if you are doing 2 minutes. When you can do 10-15 minutes maybe start aiming for 30 minutes.

    2 minutes every day? You should incorporate a rest day. Your body needs time to heal/recover.
