If you eat 150 cakes a week, do you get fatter eating 75 a day over the weekend, or spreading the 150 through the whole week?
Those two statements are mutually contradictory.Hardly surprising that people who do 150 minutes exercise a week are getting a benefit from it regardless of whether it's spread through the week or not. I struggle to grasp how there is benefit to 150 minutes spread across 7 days,
I wouldn't be surprised if the weekend warriors are shown to get more benefit.
Those two statements are mutually contradictory.
I understand the first, but not the second.
“I exercise for around 900 minutes a week and know plenty of people fitter and stronger than me.
For 9 of the 28 weeks so far this year I have only done 3 rides, each of 30 minutes duration. 19 of the 28 weeks have involved only 3 or 4 rides and less than 5 hours cycling. I am still getting fitter as the year progresses, and not just when I do longer, harder rides.My second point, which perhaps should have been a separate paragraph, is that I cannot grasp how there is any real benefit to say 5 x 30 minutes of exercise. Roughly speaking that would be 5-6 minutes warm up and warm down which gives 18-20 minutes actually exercising.
I appreciate the science shows it's beneficial, I don't argue with it, but I struggle to understand how so little makes an impact. I exercise for around 900 minutes a week and know plenty of people fitter and stronger than me.

Only 150? Poor from you.

Did you when working full time too? Or did you have a manual job?
Though there aren't many people exercising as much as the 2 hours a day you are doing. Most of us just don't have the time for that.
