I have heard of and even seen peope make big changes to their body and health with only 15, 30, or 60 minutes of exercise a day. It doesn’t even seem like much.
Whether it’s cardio or lifting weights, why do people only need that much time a day to improve? In fact, why does MORE time with exercise (like 3 hours or more) even seem harmful?
I know diet plays a big role but still. Like I started strength training for only 15 minutes a day and I see some changes in my body physically.

The big thing about exercise is that it isn’t how hard it is, it’s how consistently you do it.
If you do 30-60 minutes of exercise over an entire week, it’s not going to do a lot.
It you do 3.5-7 hours of exercise in one dose it’s going to physically injure you and you will spend the rest of the week desperately trying to recover from that.
But if you do exercise consistently, you’re getting it used to it and letting the damage you do recover by the time you next do the exercise.
Eventually you reach a plateau, because infinite growth isn’t real, but you don’t tend to backslide easily as long as you keep up
