How much should a person typically exercise per week?

The American Heart Association recommends adults aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity per week, in addition to muscle-strengthening exercises at least two days a week. However, the right amount of exercise can vary depending on a number of factors including age, current fitness level, and personal health goals. It's important to speak with a healthcare provider before starting any new exercise regimen.
