Drink beer. Get thin.

At this point, there's really no excuse for not being in shape.

According to scientists from Canada's McMaster University, 1 minute of strenuous exercise is equal — in terms of improving health and fitness — to 45 minutes of moderate exercise. That's amazing. Who doesn't have time to spare a single minute?

It gets even better.

Oregon State University researchers found that beer may help people lose weight. The study involved feeding mice a flavonoid called xanthohumol, which is found in hops and beer. And it works wonders with mice.

The only downside is that it would reportedly take 3,500 pints of beer to match the equivalent amount they were feeding the mice.

But still.

1 minute of exercise followed by 3,500 pints of beer. Who's up for that regimen?
