What’s the shortest amount of time one can exercise and still have it be beneficial? The New York Times says this question, rooted in empirical evidence that about 80 percent of Americans don’t get the 150 minutes of weekly exercise that is recommended, has led to the rise of the “minimalist workout.” The idea behind short bursts of interval training is to complete about 30 minutes of strenuous activity a week, an amount that experts say will leave you in “pretty good shape.”
