Physical Activity • Adults aged 18-64 years and Older Adults 65 and over should accumulate 150 minutes/week of moderate intensity physical activity, or 90 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity in periods of at least 10 minutes each. Greater amounts of activity and more vigorous activity provide additional benefits. • Engage in resistance activities on 2-4 days per week. • Engage in flexibility activities 4-7 days per week.
