Study finds micro-exercises can match benefits of a 20-minute walk

A new study from the Royal Society shows that short, intense micro-exercises can be as effective as a 20-minute walk. Researchers found that shorter bursts of activity burn more calories and use more energy than longer, continuous workouts. The study, led by Dr. Francesco Luciano from the University of Milan, compared different walking methods. It revealed that shorter, intermittent exercises have a greater metabolic impact than longer sessions. Dr. Michael Mosley, a proponent of micro-exercises, emphasized their benefits for weight loss and heart health. He noted that these brief workouts are easier to incorporate into daily life.
