Have to look for a reference to that so I can show my wife.
Google: '90 minutes of exercise per day'.


When I was working I was getting about a 1-hour ride each evening, and then I added a 30 minute lunchtime walk. That made a difference!

The weight started coming off ... not fast. You've got to keep plugging away for months, but it does work.

I've been gradually increasing the amount of exercise I've been getting (while being careful with how much I eat) and I've dropped 3 kg since the beginning of September. This is the first week where I've been able to do 90 minutes a day, so hopefully it will start dropping off a little bit faster and more consistently than that.
