A Little Fit Will Do You
The latest research shows that the minimum daily moderate to vigorous activity—about 30 minutes per day, 5 days per week—does not have to be accomplished in a single session. As little as 10 minute chunks (there is no benefit less than 10 minutes) 3 times per day is as effective.

Trek the stairs again for the third time for 10 minutes before going home for the day.
