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.
Moderate exercise (three to five days a week) BMR multiplied by 1.55. Very active (six to seven days a week) BMR multiplied by 1.725. Extra active (very active and physical job) BMR multiplied by 1.9. As you can see, the calories you consume each day will depend on how much you exercise you do.
