The study found that a brisk stroll once or twice a week is enough to reduce the risk of dying from a heart attack.

Age Group triathletes run during the IRONMAN 70.3 Indian Wells La Quinta on December.

People who walked or gardened 10 minutes to an hour each week had an 18-percent lower risk of death from any cause compared to full-on couch potatoes, researchers reported in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Heart-pumping and pulse-quickening activities such as biking, running and competitive sports"are more time-efficient than moderate intensity activity," they said.
