Remember all those healthy New Year resolutions about going to the gym, walking to the shops and always taking the stairs at work?
Well, if you still have pangs of guilt at how your best intentions failed to last the distance, here is some good news.
The health effects of missing out on daily exercise and sitting around in the office all week can be cancelled out by just one workout a week.
The one snag is that the weekly exercise session ? such as a brisk walk or bike ride ? has to be an exhausting two and a half hours long.
Researchers found those who managed 150 minutes of exercise on one or two days of the week were just as healthy as others doing the same amount over a longer period.
