The government isn't going to help you.

This evening, go for a one minute walk.

Tomorrow evening do the same.

Next evening do the same.

Repeat.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.

one minute? I'm sure that's not going help anyone to walk for one minute. 30 minutes at a minimum. 60 is good, 120 is great!

I choose to interpret the post as saying "start small, and be consistent". If you were to tell someone to go for an at least 30 minute walk every day many people would balk at you.

Start with a minute walk. Make time in your day for it. Extend to a 2 minute walk. 5 minute. 15 minute. Etc.

They've got to start somewhere. Build the habit, get over the resistance.

1 minute will turn into 2 minutes, then 5 minutes.

And 1 minute is infinitely better than 0 minutes.

If they can get a little fitter, they can do 15 minute medium intensity exercises.

The point is, make a start.

I think most people actually would, if they would cut down on other time sinks in the evening.

You would have to walk for several hours each day to balance out the overeating that's apparently due to GLP-1.
