UK National Guidelines on Physical Activity

The UK National Guidelines recommend that adults aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity, like brisk walking or cycling, each week, or 75 minutes of vigorous activity. It’s also beneficial to do muscle-strengthening exercises, such as lifting weights or resistance activities, on two or more days. These guidelines help improve overall health, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and maintain a healthy weight. Physical activity can be adapted to individual fitness levels and lifestyles, encouraging everyone to find enjoyable ways to stay active regularly.
