150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic exercise, such as walking at a brisk pace 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity, such as running

Two or more strength training sessions a week Even shorter bouts of activity offer heart benefits, so if you can't meet those guidelines, don't give up. Just five minutes of moving can help, and activities such as gardening, housekeeping, taking the stairs, and walking the dog all count toward your total. You don't have to exercise strenuously to achieve benefits, but you can see bigger benefits by increasing the intensity, duration, and frequency of your workouts.
