Doctors and psychologists have proposed a shakeup to the way we think about longstanding recommendations around exercise.
Research shows that as little as four minutes of activity a day can be life changing, while one minute of robust activity prevents premature death, heart attack, or stroke. Experts call it VILPA, or vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity.
Dr Aj Ali is a Professor of Sport and Exercise Science at Massey University. He joins Jim to discuss what VILPA might look like in one’s day-to-day life.
