I don't think people know that simply getting up and walking for 10 minutes every 2 hours would reduce their body fat levels. In fact, I've seen a study [1] which concludes you simply can't undo a days worth of sitting with a vigorous exercise session. I think science is starting to show that frequency of movement is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, not just intensity of movement. Going to the gym after 8 hours infront of the computer is just not sufficient to combat weight gain.

Weight gain is orthogonal to this, as you could just adjust the diet. You would have to do multiple hours of exercise to lose weight that is not just water.

But the difference for cardiovascular and respiratory systems and especially back and neck muscles is big with something as simple as basic walking exercise.

Exercise is not for weight loss, it's too stay fit and healthy. And yes, small regular exercise beats hard exhausting bursts.
