MODERATORS
It's not maximalist. It's reality.
If you want to be healthy, you need to put in serious work. 10 minutes walks won't cut it. Sorry that busts your bubble or whatever.
You are trying to say anything is better than nothing, and then using that as some sort of 'just do the bare minimum'.
The cardiologist association recommendation is 150 minutes a week of medium intensity, or 75 high intensity minutes. That's 5 days of hard work for 15m at threshold, or 5 days a week of 30m of aerobic intensity. That's zone 3 or higher, which is you can feel your heart pounding and you are sweating sweating.
a casual bike ride isn't aerobic activity, it's zone 1-2. a walk is zone 1, it's slightly above resting.
That is also only focusing on the cardio side. The benefits of a structured workout routine is cardio as well as balanced strength training.
You are very unlikely to match the benefits organically unless you are already extremely active.
TIL my body will only burn calories and build muscle if I run at the same time and the same way every day, or get a gym membership and do sets. Better give up going on hikes, and biking, and walking in the snow. It just won't deliver those Chris Pratt personal trainer results that every one has to look for.
