The truth about exercise?

I am comfortably seated by the fire in the tearoom of Brown’s Hotel in London when a bundle of energy comes to a halt at my side. Enter Michael Mosley, the BBC’s most valuable communicator of complex scientific ideas. We’re here to discuss his latest theory: that three minutes of vigorous exercise a week is enough to keep you healthy; and that, generally speaking, exercise contributes very little to weight loss.

1_______He launches into an explanation of why diets generally fail. ‘It’s not that people are weak-willed. It’s pretty easy to lose weight quickly on a strict diet, but then the body conspires against you. Fear of starvation is a basic instinct. As you lose weight your metabolic rate slows. Your body encourages you to conserve calories by moving less. The brain tells the nerve cells in your intestine that you’re hungry. Thus, 95 per cent of diets fail.’
2______’Not so. We grossly underestimate the amount of time you need to burn calories. If you cycle steadily for an hour you’ll burn 500 calories. That’s one muffin. You’d have to cycle from Nottingham to Leeds – 78 miles – to burn a pound of fat, and one experiment in the USA showed that even thinking about exercise triggers the hormonal response that makes you want to eat.’
3______Putting weight loss aside, can just three minutes of exercise a week really be as useful as three hours on the treadmill? The answer lies, it seems, in the acronym HIT. It stands for High- Intensity Interval Training, and research suggests that this short- burst approach is highly effective.
4______ ‘But if we move around, we activate a protein which takes fat out of the bloodstream and transfers it to the muscles, where it can be burnt.’
5______’What studies are showing is that keeping active is the answer to many problems,’ he says. The HIT approach, combined with gentler exercise such as walking from room to room, will do the trick.
6______ Mosley isn’t at all worried about the damaging impact this research could have on the gym and dieting industries. He heads off to the station at a smart pace. I pay the bill and catch a cab. Must do better!

Question:

According to Michael Mosley, which of the following is most likely to keep a person healthy?
