The amount of exercise needed for effect is less than a hour per day (less than 30 minutes if intensive) but this is a not done by most. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5556592/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5556592/ https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/exercise.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/exercise.htm
