How much exercise do I need?

 

To stay healthy, it is recommended that adults aged 19-64 and 65+ should aim for 150 minutes of moderate activity, or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity.  This may seem a lot to try to fit in, but it is easier to break it down into smaller chunks, trying to be physically active every day. Over a week you should aim to do a mix of aerobic activity and strength exercises.

If you are interested in the Physical Activity Guidelines for Early Years (Under 5's), Children and Young People (5 to 18 years), Adults (19 - 64 years) and Older People (65+) take a look here:

If you can’t achieve these activity levels initially then don’t worry, any activity is better than nothing at all.
