Exercise or Die

if you're a person who's in the doing

zero exercise per week Camp the very

good news is the benefit you get from

going from zero to three hours a week is

a greater benefit than anyone gets along

the exercise curve taking someone who's

at five hours and taking them to 15 will

produce less relative benefit than going

from zero to three so in other words I

want that person to see some real

incentive for making this change

secondly I'll put some numbers to it

right so going from no exercise to three

hours a week

approximately reduces your cause of your

all-cause mortality that is to say death

by every cause

by 50 percent at any moment in time so

if you're standing there asking what's

the probability I'm going to die this

year well we can sort of actuarially

figure that out

you get to cut that number in half by

simply going from zero to three hours

exercise a week if you're a

non-exerciser
