Low intensity exercise increases the heart and breathing rate, helping the body get oxygen to its cells, get rid of toxins, and other benefits of increased circulation. These are all very important for the body and particularly the brain and all other organs.
I agree with you. But consider the capacity of a healthy individual, now spending 30 minutes or more, focused on a single task. Doing low intensity excercise without doing anything else...is an utter shite use of valuable time. It's just a waste of time that could be spent getting the heart rate higher, the muscles full of blood, etc.. I agree that it's beneficial but barely. Low intensity is good for getting people who don't workout to start lifting their arses a bit. But it has hardly any substantial effects on a healthy individual as compared to lifting or sprinting or jogging.
