According to the 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, adults should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week, along with muscle-strengthening activities twice a week.
Let's check which of Arnold's weekly workout plans meets this minimum recommendation:
- 2 hours of golf every Sunday. This amounts to 120 minutes of moderate-intensity activity, which is more than enough to meet the minimum recommendation.
- 45 minutes of biking, 3 days a week. 45 minutes x 3 days = 135 minutes of moderate-intensity activity, which meets the minimum recommendation.
- 15 minutes of running, 6 days a week. 15 minutes x 6 days = 90 minutes of moderate-intensity activity, which meets the minimum recommendation.
- 30 minutes of walking, 5 days a week. 30 minutes x 5 days = 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity, which meets the minimum recommendation.
So, all of Arnold's weekly workout plans meet the minimum recommendation of the 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
