Which statement best reflects the CDC guideline for weekly aerobic activity?

• A. 150-300 minutes per week
• B. 50-100 minutes per week
• C. 400-600 minutes per week
• D. 60-120 minutes per week

Answer: (A)

Focus on how much aerobic activity is recommended each week. The CDC guidance says you should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, and you can increase up to about 300 minutes for additional health benefits. You can also meet this with vigorous activity (about 75 minutes per week) or a mix of moderate and vigorous, and you can break the time into sessions of at least 10 minutes. Among the given options, the one that matches this guidance is the range of 150 to 300 minutes per week. The other ranges fall short of the minimum or exceed what’s typically emphasized for general weekly guidelines.
