The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommend that adults:
​
-
Aim for 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate aerobic activity each week. Moderate activity includes things like walking fast, dancing, swimming, and raking leaves.
-
Do muscle-strengthening activities – like lifting weights or using exercise bands – at least 2 days a week.
​
Physical activity is for everyone. No matter what shape you are in, you can find activities that work for you. ​

​​
