re: Walking Just 35 Minutes a Day Can Reduce Stroke Risk in Elderly

I bike to and from work. It's almost one hour a day. That's at least 360 minutes a week if I don't include the walking I've done. That's not far from 450 minutes a week. I think standing up all day can be tiring if you get plenty of exercise already. If you plan to do so, maybe you'll have to eat more and better to prevent being too tired and overtraining.

A study said that physical jobs aren't that healthy for us. Some of the possible reasons is that we don't get breaks as we work 8 hours a day so it stresses out our cardiovascular systems, it's not the right kind of exercise, and reasons not related to exercise. That reminds me of the limited number of heart beats theory. A lower resting heart rate can allow us to use fewer heart beats.
