Depending on your age, the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) has different guidelines that you should follow. Adults aged 18-64 should get a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise weekly. Adding muscle and bone strengthening activities at least two times a week is also recommended. The same amounts are recommended for adults over the age of 65, with the addition of activities to improve balance and prevent falls. Exercise can be accumulated in increments of 10 minutes or more. Moderate intensity activities can cause you to sweat a little and breathe harder. Always check with your doctor before beginning an exercise program.
