Get Fit in a Minute (actually, two)

Article Abstract:

New research concludes that several short bouts of exercise during the day produce almost the same results as one long exercise session. Three 10-minute brisk walks per day can dramatically improve health and fitness, and adding several 2-minute bursts of high-intensity exercise, such as jumping rope or climbing stairs, will further weight loss and fitness goals.
