The recommended amount of physical activity for adults is at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of high-intensity exercise per week. This guidance, complemented by muscle-strengthening activities at least two days weekly, helps maintain overall health and well-being. Regular physical activity can improve cardiovascular health, enhance mental health, and promote a healthy weight. Breaking activity into shorter sessions throughout the week can also be effective, making it easier for individuals to incorporate exercise into busy lifestyles.
