Short, intense bursts of physical activity lasting less than a minute each can significantly reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in women who do not regularly exercise. Studies show that 1.5-4.0 minutes of vigorous routine activities can mitigate cardiovascular disease risks among those unwilling or unable to engage in structured exercise. The research found that even shorter bouts of vigorous physical activity as part of daily routines can lower cardiovascular risks for women, with significant associations between incidental vigorous physical exertion and reduced risks of heart attacks, heart failure, and strokes. Men also benefit from incorporating some vigorous activity into their daily routines.
