How much exercise should you be doing?

To stay health, the NHS says adults should try to be active every day and aim to achieve at least 150 minutes of physical activity over a week through a variety of activities.

It explains: “For most people, the easiest way to get moving is to make activity part of everyday life, like walking or cycling instead of using the car to get around.

“However, the more you do, the better, and taking part in activities such as sports and exercise will make you even healthier.

“For any type of activity to benefit your health, you need to be moving quick enough to raise your heart rate, breathe faster and feel warmer. This level of effort is called moderate intensity activity.
