American Heart Association Recommendations for Physical Activity in Adults. Being physically active is important to prevent heart disease and stroke, the nationâs No. 1 and No. 5 killers. To improve overall cardiovascular health, we suggest at least 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise or 75 minutes per week of vigorous exercise (or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity). Thirty minutes a day, five times a week is an easy goal to remember.
This breaks down to about 30 minutes of exercise per day for at least five days per week. While two hours and 30 minutes of exercise may seem like a lot of time, it's fine to break up your physical activity into more manageable chunks of time, such as three sets of 10-minute intervals during the day.
