The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommends that adults "should do at least 150 minutes to 300 minutes a week of moderate-intensity, or 75 minutes to 150 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity" for sustainable health benefits.

Moderate-intensity activities include line dancing, brisk walking, and water aerobics. Vigorous-intensity activities include running, jumping rope, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
