Welcome to r/science! This is a heavily moderated subreddit in order to keep the discussion on science. However, we recognize that many people want to discuss how they feel the research relates to their own personal lives, so to give people a space to do that, personal anecdotes are allowed as responses to this comment. Any anecdotal comments elsewhere in the discussion will be removed and our normal comment rules apply to all other comments.

Otherwise I'm likely to burst something else.

Sounds doable. I wish they had made some suggestions. I have no littlies, maybe I’ll take a cardboard box over to my neighbors’ and use their toddler.

Running up a flight of stairs is a good suggestion that was shown in the video accompanying the article.

Fascinating! Again, the importance of exercise seems to supersede every other intervention for longevity.

Stairs, good idea, thank you! Apparently I’m blind, I didn’t even notice the video.
