Recommended Physical Activity Guidelines for Adults

The NHS recommends that an adult (aged 19-64) should complete:

150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week - this could be in 30 minute intervals, five times per week. Moderate intensity exercise could include activities such as brisk walking or cycling. Strength exercises that work all the major muscle groups (legs, back, shoulders etc.) should be completed on at least two days each week.

or:

75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity such as running or playing tennis, and strength exercises on at least two days per week.

One minute of vigorous intensity exercise has the same health benefits as two minutes of moderate intensity exercise.

Please visit NHS Live Well for further information about physical activity guidelines.
