DOn't want to be the "negative" one on this post. But I can say, I bet you if you ran as fast as you could for 10mins, daily, you'd have better health then if you jogged 15mins.0

speak for yourself lol i am still very much overweight and if i ran as fast as i could for ten minutes my knees would be a right state as would my ankles, different rates of exercise are good for different people for different reasons .... for now i will stick to 20 mins of brisk walking for every 10 minutes of running i could do0

For myself, it took a lot of effort to start exercising regularly. It still takes a lot of motivation for me to exercise regularly - which I do, as I do Tae Kwon Do and having gradings regularly is very motivating (next one scheduled for next month)
For those who struggle to do any exercise, 15 minutes isn't a massive amount of time and is a starting point.0 -

That's how i started, Actually it was 10mins for me. I couldn't even walk 10mins. I had to take a break around the 6 minute mark, for a minute or 2, then finish the other 4 minutes. The key is to develop the "habit" of doing exercise. Start slow and build.0 -
