According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an adult needs at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week along with two or more days that include muscle strengthening activities. The Surgeon General’s recommendation for physical activity is to add about 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity each day ON TOP of your customary daily activities. While 150 minutes seems like a lot, it breaks down to 30 minutes a day, five days a week. As little as a ten minute walk three times a day can make a difference.In order to lose a pound in weight 3,500 calories need to be burned. Use one of the many online Activity Calculators.
