It’s all about the numbers:
Those who exercise moderately (brisk walking, group fitness classes) need 150 minutes/week. Runners and those who enjoy vigorous exercise should aim for 75 minutes.

Can I power through a 2-1/2 hour Saturday Sweat Session and call it good?
Nope. To help prevent cardiovascular disease (the #1 cause of death in the U.S.) you need at least 20 minutes a day. Schedule your workouts so that you don’t “run out of time.”

In addition to your 150 minutes of aerobic exercise, the CDC also recommends 2 hours of strength training each week.
New to lifting? Try a class such as Total Body Burn & Sculpt, Strong After 60, or Ripped to get started.
