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.
Regular Exercise is any planned physical activity (e.g., brisk. walking, aerobics, jogging, bicycling, swimming, rowing, etc.) performed to increase physical fitness. Such activity should be. performed 3 to 5 times per week for 20-60 minutes per. session. Exercise does not have to be painful to be effective. but should be done at a level that increases your breathing rate. and causes you to break a sweat.
