  I too believe that a person has to be in touch with how their own body feels, you live in it so take care of it.

However I would go with the 1 hour if I had to choose, keep in mind you don't have to exercise for the sake exercising, choose something fun to do with your physical activity and that hour will seem like it just flew by....

  The title says it all. I think that until society actually does start to exercise that we shouldn't worry bout people overexercising or being too active. We're too much as risk for obesity and sedentary diseases as it is!!...
