Cardiorespiratory Exercise Recommendations (ACSM, 2011)
Frequency: ≥ 5 days/week for moderate intensitety, fairly light-somewhat hard, or ≥ 3 days/week for vigorous intensity, somewhat hard-very hard, or ≥ 3-5 days/week for a combination of both.
Intensity: Moderate and/or high (for apparantly health adults).
Time (duration):
30-60 minutes at a moderate intensity or
20-60 minutes at a vigorous intensity or a combination of both.
Note: These recommendations are for apparently healthy adults – and initially you may benefit from a lot less; if you are not used to exercise, start out gradually: 3-5 minutes, preferably daily or 3-5 times a week, and increase over time.
Strengthen your heart; live longer, healthier, happier!
