Thirty Minutes Of Strenuous Exercise Can Be More Beneficial Than 60 Minutes, Study Says

August 22, 2012: 12:00 AM EST
Danish researchers have found that a half hour of exercise every day is actually better for overweight or obese individuals than 60 minutes. For the study, 60 overweight but healthy men exercised for either 60 minutes or thirty minutes a day over thirteen weeks. Thirty minutes of exercise strenuous enough to raise a sweat was enough to spur weight loss. Men who exercised 30 minutes a day lost on average  3.6 kg in three months, while those who exercised for 60 minutes a day lost only 2.7 kg. Men who exercised for the additional half hour “lost too little relative to the energy burned by running, biking or rowing,” the researchers said.
