guidelines for Healthy Adults
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and
the American Heart Association (AHA) are continuously
updating guidelines and recommendations for physical
activity.
The current basic recommendations from ACSM and AHA
are:
Do moderately intense cardio 30 minutes a day, five days
a week.
Do vigorously intense cardio 20 minutes a day, three days
a week.
Do eight to ten strength-training exercises, eight to twelve
repetitions of each exercise twice a week.
Moderate-intensity physical activity means working hard
enough to raise your heart rate and break a sweat, yet
still being able to carry on a conversation. It should be
noted that to lose weight or maintain weight loss, 60 to
90 minutes of physical activity may be necessary. The 30
minute recommendation is for the average healthy adult to
maintain health and reduce the risk for chronic disease.
To review the latest guidelines and recommendations, visit
the American College of Sports Medicine website: www.

Stop exercising immediately if you feel nausea, dizziness,
sharp pain, or any other physical discomfort. Failure to
stop exercising can result in injury or death to yourself.
Train Intelligently
To ensure a future of good health, you should always eat
well balanced meals, drink plenty of fluid/water during a
workout, and stay fit by exercising intelligently. Always
follow training guidelines that are specific to your own
physical condition.
Injuries to health may result from incorrect or excessive
training. Failure to stop exercising can result in injury or
death to yourself.
