What is the weekly amount of high-intensity aerobic activity recommended?

• A. 150 minutes moderate
• B. 75 minutes high
• C. 100 minutes high
• D. 60 minutes moderate

Answer: (B)

Weekly total for high-intensity aerobic activity is 75 minutes. This amount represents the vigorous category of exercise and provides cardiovascular benefits when done at a challenging pace. You can split it across the week, such as 25 minutes on three days, or combine it with lighter activities as needed. If you can’t reach 75 minutes of vigorous activity, you can meet the guideline with 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week or an equivalent mix of vigorous and moderate activity. Vigorous examples include running, fast cycling, or other high-effort cardio.
