Even an exercise refusenik like me can get behind the latest research from Cambridge University. Most days, I spend longer than that staring into the fridge
We’re tired and broken and can’t be arsed to do what we know we should. Well, I am. And if you’re on that new “” regime and vibrating with microbiome health, keep it to yourself: I’ve been failing to throw out a rotting cauliflower in the fridge since Christmas. Things need to be realistic and achievable for there to be any chance of most of us doing them and, assuming you are in reasonable health and can walk, this walking one feels achievable.
In the interests of rewarding science for its flexibility, I tried some 11-minute walks over a few days. Firstly, I discovered that if I keep the pace up and there’s no queue, I can get to the corner shop, buy a packet of Big Hoops and get home within 11 minutes. But having realised this is possibly suboptimal for my cardiovascular health, I set another timer and headed away from temptation.
Lastly, I invited my husband – a man who free-dives to the bottom of 30-metre pools and climbs cliffs for pleasure – to accompany me and the ancient dog on another 11-minuter. “It’s 11 minuteswalking,” he whispered sorrowfully, as the dog staggered to next-door’s hedge, sniffed it at extravagant length, stared at a discarded Monster can for two minutes and then ground to a halt.
