A lot of contradictory comments on this thread:

> This means that the benefits outweigh the simple measurement of calories burnt, especially for people who are otherwise sedentary.

> It was my understanding that if you're largely sedentary, no amount of exercise can "make up" for that, and that the correlation with increased morbidity and mortality remains.

Some say that even a little helps, some say that even large amounts of exercise still isn't enough.

As a largely sedentary person, I wish there were more concrete studies done to show how to mitigate the risks of long-term problems for those of us that are sedentary for a (relatively) big part of the day.
