New studies have revealed that women don’t need to exercise nearly as much as men do in order to reap the same rewards. The risk of death is 24 per cent lower if women do decide to go for the 300 minutes a week.
Turns out, you don’t have to. New studies have revealed that women don’t need to exercise nearly as much as men do in order to reap the same rewards. Honestly, we couldn’t be more delighted by the news – that’s an excuse to skip that workout this eve and get a takeaway if we ever heard one.In the study, they found that men who get about 300 minutes of aerobic exercise each week have an 18 per cent lower risk of dying compared to men who are more inactive.
But when it comes to women, it takes only 140 minutes of weekly exercise to see the same result – that’s less than half! Not only that, but the risk of death is 24 per cent lower if women do decide to go for the 300 minutes a week. The study also shows that (for both genders) benefits in terms of lowering risk of early death tend to plateau after about 300 minutes a week.This is due to things like women having less muscle mass, so “if they do the same amount of strengthening exercises, they may have greater benefits with smaller doses just based on the fact that they don’t have as much to begin with,” Dr. Martha Gulati tellsDr
