CDC's Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans

The CDC's Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommend that adults aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking, or 75 minutes of vigorous activity, like running, each week. It's also beneficial to do muscle-strengthening activities, such as lifting weights or using resistance bands, on at least two days. These guidelines help improve overall health, reduce disease risk, and enhance mood and energy levels. Physical activity can be broken into shorter sessions throughout the day and should be tailored to individual ability and fitness levels for best results.
