Exercise and Physical Activity Guidelines

Exercise and physical activity guidelines recommend that adults aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity, like running, each week. Additionally, strength training exercises for major muscle groups should be done on two or more days per week. These guidelines aim to enhance overall health, improve cardiovascular fitness, maintain a healthy weight, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Incorporating regular physical activity into daily life can lead to long-term health benefits and improved well-being.
