Which weekly amount of moderate-intensity aerobic activity is recommended to meet guidelines?

• A. 75 minutes per week
• B. 150 minutes per week
• C. 225 minutes per week
• D. 300 minutes per week

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is the minimum weekly amount of moderate-intensity aerobic activity recommended for adults to meet guidelines. Public health guidelines state at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity. That means you can spread it out in sessions of any length as long as the total adds up to 150 minutes or more, for example about 30 minutes on five days. Moderate activity examples include brisk walking, casual cycling, or dancing. Doing less than this minimum doesn’t meet the guideline, while doing more than 150 minutes still fulfills the recommendation and offers additional health benefits.
