Weekly Fitness Tip: How Much Exercise is Enough?
Have you been lax about your exercise?
If you’ve been lax about about your exercise routine and aren’t sure what you should be doing, new recommendations give adults and kids specifics on what they can do to reap important health benefits.
Adults need a minimum of 2 1/2 hours of moderate exercise per week, or one hour and 15 minutes of vigorous activity. And kids should get an hour of activity per day, according to the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans announced earlier this month.
Those are the numbers the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services came up with after a two-year process that included having a 13-member advisory committee review scientific research on the effects of physical activity and health.
