Potentially interesting Horizon programme on BBC tonight about exercise:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-17177251
3 minutes intensive exercise a week is all we need apparently.
We are told to do more and more exercise, more is better, you can see why lots of people would encourage us to do that, and then reference to all of the money made from buying kit etc...
I'll stick to my hours and hours a week on the saddle, because I enjoy it, but given my waist measurements and lung capacity I most definitely am one of the 85% who may be wasting their time.
