So far so lazy…

Sports: Every minute counts

But now a study is lighting up the buttocks of all busy people who don’t like sports: Taiwanese scientists discovered that just 15 minutes of exercise a day can prolong life by three years. three years! What can be done in that time!

Therefore, as of today, when it comes to fitness, every minute counts. Incidentally, it doesn’t matter whether you complete the quarter of an hour a day or exercise longer in one go once a week.
