It is just a different way of accumulating this.” The findings reinforce suggestions that people should look for simple ways to get short bouts of exercise: for example, by parking at the far end of the lot and walking briskly to the entrance, by taking the stairs quickly instead of riding the elevator, or by plugging in your earbuds and dancing energetically to a favorite song. health.harvard.edu/blog/combine-brief-bouts-of-moderate-exercise-for-health-201309116670
