Move More | Adults

It is recommended that adults get a total of 150 minutes of physical activity throughout their week. By finding ways to get at least 30 minutes of moderate, aerobic activity five days a week, you can make a big difference in your health.

If you aren’t typically physically active, start slow to reduce risk of a cardiac event. You can even break up your physical activity into smaller, more manageable sessions. Instead of moving for 30 minutes straight, separate your activities into three 10-minute sets.
