National Physical Activity Guidelines

National Physical Activity Guidelines recommend that adults aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking, or 75 minutes of vigorous activity, such as running, each week. It's also beneficial to include muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days. These guidelines help promote overall health, improve cardiovascular function, maintain a healthy weight, and boost mental well-being. Regular physical activity can reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, and supports a better quality of life. The key is to find enjoyable activities and stay consistent.
