What Exercise is Most Effective in Weight Management?

July 11 2025

Unsure whether it is better to do smaller bouts of exercise multiple times a day or a longer duration of exercise once a day to manage your weight or obesity?

A study done by Gao et.al revealed that in a randomized group of 18 overweight and obese men, short and frequent squatting or walking resulted in better enhancement of glycaemic control and muscle activity compared to a single bout of walking during a day of prolonged sitting.

Therefore, it can actually be better to get up from your desk and do some light movements/walks multiple times a day than going for a long walk at the end of the day!

If you have an injury or pain stopping you from doing so, come see our friendly team today!
