The appropriate amount of exercise can vary based on individual fitness levels, goals, and recommendations from health organizations. However, a commonly recommended guideline is to aim for 45 to 60 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, 5 times per week. This aligns with recommendations from various health organizations for maintaining good health and achieving fitness goals.
For more specific goals, such as weight loss or training for an event, the duration and intensity of exercise might vary.
If you are just starting or have specific health considerations, it may be beneficial to begin with 20 to 30 minutes, 3 to 5 times per week and gradually increase the duration and frequency as your fitness improves. Always consult with a fitness professional or healthcare provider to tailor a program to your individual needs.
