Darrin Carlson on March 23 this year shared his ideas on the minimal amount of exercise and equipment needed to achieve reasonable fitness benefits.
I’m self-experimenting with just six exercises now.
Public health authorities for years have recommended physical activity in the range of 150 minutes a week. That ain’t gonna happen for most folks. Darrin says, “Two hours a week will work for most people….”
Jonathan Bailor, Chris Highcock, and others suggest 30-60 minutes a week may be enough. Even Darrin admits as much, for the super-dedicated.

But what if people just like to workout? I get antsy when I don’t.
Good point, Brenna. In the same vein, regular physical activity helps combat anxiety and depression.

Totally agree with you Steve. Physical exercises are definitely great against depression and other serious problems.
