Can you limit your sitting and sleeping to JUST 23 1/2 hours a day?

I recently saw this brilliant video on You Tube called "23 1/2 hours"- a short visual Lecture by Dr Mike Evans (no, I'd never heard of him either).

It made me think a bit more about the overall long term health benefits of even low levels of exercise.


More about the video:
"A Doctor-Professor answers the old question "What is the single best thing we can do for our health" in a completely new way. Dr. Mike Evans is founder of the Health Design Lab at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, an Associate Professor of Family Medicine and Public Health at the University of Toronto, and a staff physician at St. Michael's Hospital."

This challenge is just to get 30 minutes of exercise every day (or equivalent i.e 46 hours of exercise total over the next 3 months) until the end of January. It will help you beat the winter blues, and burn off the christmas dinners!

    I really liked this because it made me think I could take small steps to be more active and it would be effective. Sometimes I think an hour or two at the gym is overwhelming and do nothing, but a half our walk is always doable. Thanks for posting this.

    No problem! I think you've got it in a nutshell- it's about the small every day changes we make to our lives. Everyone has 20-30 minutes to go for a walk no matter where you live or how busy your life is :)
