Becoming fit by exercising less

Biking and health

From the future of health by Abet James, "The Fat Burning Man"

Is exercising more the answer?  Not necessarily.

Taking cue from the Greeks, moderation is the key.  Anything that is taken in large doses or large quantities has a point of diminishing returns.  In the graph of Abet, he showed that little dose has little or effect;  but maximum dose results in death.

There is the sweet spot where there is a trade off between length of exercise and stress level.

And how is this possible:  by having short intense exercise and lifting weights.

He showed the picture  as a result of a.   exercising longer distance and b.   short distances but with sprinting.
