I'd say that we shouldn't disregard easier targets. In the UK we have this "five a day" campaign, to eat 5 unique pieces of fruit or veg a day. If someone said they were going to eat an apple every day and we said no, don't do that, it's better to eat 5 different things, you may end up with that person not eating any.
Some of us are time poor, or to flip it round, very busy. Our 24 hours can be hectic, filled with parenting and work. 10-20 minutes a day at home is easier to fit into a busy schedule than an hour to go to the gym.
Is an hour at the gym better? Yes, but 10-20 minutes a day consistent will outweigh sporadic visits to the gym.
