JUST 150 MINUTES MAKES A DIFFERENCE

All healthy adults, ages 18 to 65, need at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity every week. These types of activities include: walking (about 3.5 miles per hour), hiking, raking leaves, dancing and biking (less than 10 miles per hour). If 150 minutes each week sounds like a lot, break it up into smaller chunks. Try 10 minutes three different times a day or two bouts of 15 minutes each. Exercise for at least 10 minutes at a time and make it an addition to your basic activities of daily living.
