People who walked or gardened 10 minutes to an hour each week had an 18% lower risk of death from any cause compared to couch potatoes.

Two-and-a-half to five hours weekly of such “moderate physical activity” — broken into segments of no less than 10 minutes — resulted in a 31% reduction in risk, they found.Not everyone, however, has that much time to spend on leisure-time exercise, the authors acknowledged. For cardiovascular disease alone, there was no additional benefit to be gained by graduating from five to 25 hours, they noted.
