Adults need at least 150 minutes each week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity — anything that gets the heart beating faster.
You don’t have to do it all at once, and when time is tight, you can look for ways to work activity into your day. For example, park farther away at the grocery store, do squats while brushing your teeth, or walk in place during your favorite TV show — it all adds up!
And
Muscle-strengthening activity
It’s also important to do muscle-strengthening activities 2 days a week to help your body stay strong. But you don’t have to go to the gym — your usual tasks that make your muscles work harder count, too. Think gardening or carrying heavy grocery bags.
