"People who walk for 10-15 minutes at a time can reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease by up to two thirds compared to those who take only brief walks lasting less than five minutes. Even when covering the same total number of steps, longer, uninterrupted walks appear to provide greater benefits for the heart than short, scattered strolls throughout the day."
"New research reveals that walking in longer, uninterrupted bouts of 10-15 minutes significantly lowers cardiovascular disease risk-by up to two-thirds compared to shorter strolls. Scientists from the University of Sydney and Universidad Europea found that even people who walk less than 8,000 steps daily can see major heart health benefits simply by changing how they walk. Those who took their steps in one or two continuous sessions had lower rates of heart attacks, strokes, and death."
Walking in continuous bouts of 10–15 minutes lowers cardiovascular disease risk by up to two thirds compared with walks under five minutes. Concentrating daily steps into one or two steady sessions provides greater reductions in heart attacks, strokes, and death than spreading identical steps across many short strolls. Significant benefits occur even for people who average fewer than 8,000 steps per day. Sustained walking sessions offer stronger protection for heart health than fragmented activity. One or two continuous sessions per day lasting at least 10-15 minutes are associated with markedly lower rates of cardiovascular events among generally inactive people.
