We know you know exercise is important, that's obvious. But, not everything about exercise is. Questions about how much time you should be investing into exercise commonly come up. Questions like: \"how much exercise do I need?\" and \"how long should my workouts be?\" are commonly asked.<\/p>\n

According to the World Health Organization: \"Adults aged 18\u201364 should do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week or do at least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity activity.\" (Source<\/a>)<\/p>\n While this is a good place to start, it's not very helpful without understanding what some of these terms mean. Let's quickly define them.<\/p>\n Aerobic<\/strong> - requiring oxygen (as opposed to anaerobic which means without oxygen)<\/p>\n Physical Activity<\/strong> - any movement of the body that requires energy<\/p>\n Moderate-Intensity<\/strong> - a level of activity that requires effort but you're still able to talk (it may be difficult); your heart rate and breath will be elevated<\/p>\n Vigorous-Intensity<\/strong> - a level of activity that requires a lot of effort and you're struggling to talk; your heart rate and breath will be very fast<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
