Exercise Guidelines

Exercise guidelines recommend adults engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, like brisk walking, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity, like running, each week. Additionally, strength training should be performed on two or more days weekly, targeting all major muscle groups. It's also important to include flexibility and balance exercises, especially for older adults. Regular physical activity supports overall health, reduces the risk of chronic diseases, and enhances mental well-being. Always listen to your body and consult a healthcare professional if starting a new exercise program or if you have any health concerns.
