But the numbers were insane for the health equivalence ratio of this light activity.

Now moving from what you were just talking about moderate to what's the equivalence of light activity to vigorous activity.

So

For all of the main outcomes, including cancer, light activity, one minute of vigorous activity was equal to 53 to 94 minutes of light activity.

So to get the same mortality risk reduction as one minute of running, you might need, say, an hour or so of gentle walking, just kind of using a practical example there.

Time efficient right there, for sure.

For diabetes prevention,

It was nearly an hour and a half.

So 94 minutes of light activity was equal to one minute of vigorous intensity activity for the cardiovascular disease outcomes, 73 minutes for cardiovascular disease mortality, 86 minutes for major adverse cardiovascular events.

And then for cancer mortality, this one was the largest one.

One minute of vigorous activity was equal to 156 minutes, so nearly two and a half hours of light intensity activity.

So I think all those numbers, again, they seem a little bit extreme, but that's what the data were showing.

And I just think it goes to show that even like as we just talked about, not even high intensity interval training, just vigorous, purposeful kind of efforts, zone two or above, have this massively outsized activity

benefit on health outcomes compared to light intensity activity.

And I think, you know, this, I think, you know, you know, I've talked about high intensity before, and this isn't to say that the light intensity activity is useless.

Obviously any, we both agree, any movement is better than just sitting around.

But the study did find some benefits.

So for all cause mortality and diabetes prevention, there were some benefits to doing more light intensity activity.

But there were some outcomes.

So say for cardiovascular disease, mortality, stroke, heart attacks,
