How much exercise should you do every day to stay healthy?

 The recommended amount of exercise for most healthy adults depends on the intensity of the activity:

• Moderate-intensity exercise: The minimum recommended amount is 150 minutes a week. This could be brisk walking, biking, swimming, or dancing. To spread it out, you could aim for 30 minutes most days of the week [Mayo Clinic, exercise how much do i need every day].

• Vigorous-intensity exercise: If you prefer higher intensity workouts, you can aim for 75 minutes a week. This could be activities that get your heart rate up significantly, such as running, sprinting, or interval training.

• Combination: You can also combine moderate and vigorous activity to reach the recommended amount.

These are minimums, and if you want to see even greater health benefits or have specific goals, you may need to exercise more.

Here are some additional tips:

• Strength training: Aim to include strength training exercises for all major muscle groups at least two times a week [Mayo Clinic, exercise benefits].

• Move more, sit less: Break up long periods of sitting throughout the day with some movement [CDC, how much physical activity do adults need].

• Listen to your body: Don't push yourself too hard, especially if you're new to exercise. Gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts as you get fitter.

Remember, even small amounts of physical activity are better than none. Start slowly and gradually increase the amount of exercise you do as you become more comfortable.
