Yes, you can get healthier in as little as two minutes.
The science has spoken: you do not need to exercise for hours on end in order to improve all aspects of your health, nor to boost your life expectancy. In fact, the secret to feeling fit, healthy, and mentally buoyant actually lies in how consistently you move. Even the most die-hard fitness experts agree that getting your heart pumping, however you choose to do it, is the ticket to improving your health—and you don’t need to commit to hour-long studio classes to do that.
“The great part about exercise is that it all counts, and it’s also cumulative,” agrees trainer-to-the-stars. “When it comes to low-intensity exercise, doing an hour in one go is really not much different to doing two [sessions] of 20 minutes or 12 [sessions] of five minutes. It’s as simple as making the decision to move purposefully each day.

Below, some of the science to illustrate howTurns out that even a four-second burst of intense exercise can make us fitter. Asaw a group of young, healthy individuals in their twenties cycle at maximum effort for four seconds, then rest for around 15 to 30 seconds, 30 times, thrice weekly—amounting to two minutes of intense exercise three times a week, or six minutes total per week.
