fitness guidelines

Fitness guidelines recommend that adults aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity each week, such as brisk walking or running. Additionally, you should include muscle-strengthening exercises, like lifting weights or resistance training, twice a week. These activities help improve heart health, build strength, and maintain a healthy weight. It's best to spread activity throughout the week and include a variety of exercises to benefit different muscle groups. Always listen to your body, start gradually if you're new to exercise, and consult a healthcare professional if you have health concerns.
