A Simple 150-Minute Weekly Movement Plan

A weekly movement goal is easier to use when it fits real life. The CDC recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity each week, or 75 minutes of vigorous activity, plus muscle-strengthening activity on two days.

Build a week you can repeat

  • Choose five 30-minute movement windows, or divide the time into smaller chunks.
  • Pick familiar options such as brisk walking, cycling, dancing, or active yard work.
  • Add two strength days that work the major muscle groups.
  • Review your minutes at the end of the week and adjust the next plan.

Start with activity that matches your abilities. Some movement is better than none, and a health professional can help you choose an appropriate plan if you have a chronic condition or disability.
