Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans
For substantial health benefits, do one of the following:
Aerobic:
- Moderate intensity aerobic physical activity for 150 minutes a week. E.g. brisk walking or tennis.
- Vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity for 75 minutes a week. E.g. jogging or swimming laps.
- An equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity will also be beneficial.
Muscle-strengthening:
- At least 2 days a week moderate or high intensity muscle strengthening activities should be performed as a portion of the daily 60 minutes of physical activity. E.g. lifting weights
