why does only 30-60 minutes of exercise make big changes to your body and heath?

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.

60 minutes of exercise per day is over 4% of your entire life. You probably eat less than that. Given you sleep 1/3 of your life, that’s over 6% of your waking hours. If you got paid $15/hour for that, you’d make over $5,000 more per year. Imagine spending $5k/year and *not* getting results.
