Just Six Minutes

The National Institute of Health and Nutrition in Japan has performed tests recently, that may prove you can get fit by exercising for just 6 minutes a day. The catch? The six minutes have to be intense. They put rats through a series of swimming tests to prove this. Another researcher, Martin Gibala, PhD, chairman of the Department of Kinesiology at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, also did research on this by testing healthy college students. He came up with similar results. The catch? The six minutes have to be intense.

The lead to this story was boring. It did not draw the reader in at all. I think the writer could have done a much better job with this. She did however have a good ending, because she used the research done with college students, which will make college students happy because many become extra health conscious when they get to college. The very last sentence and the quote she chose to use also ends the story on a good note because a majority of Americans find them selves in the "I'm to busy to exercise for hours" situation.
