Which is better, one long walk or several short ones?
Answer: One long walk. A new study found one longer walk (15 minutes or more) is correlated to better health outcomes than breaking your daily movement into smaller chunks. That said, any activity counts — but if you can, block off 20 minutes for just you, your sneakers, and your favorite podcast.
