How do I achieve fitness improvements on a daily basis?

American College of Sports Medicine states in their most recent position stand on exercise prescription that expending 1,000 calories per week, which is equivalent to approximately 150 minutes/week (30 minutes, 5 days/week) is associated with lower rates of heart disease and premature mortality. The good news is that accumulating 30 minutes of exercise in 10 minute bouts throughout the day seems to have the same risk reduction effect as participating in activities for longer durations. There are immediate benefits from an exercise bout, although I advise my patients that they will start to see measurable chronic changes in their health, after approximately six weeks of regular exercise.
