The term “physical activity” refers to any skeletal muscle-driven motion that involves energy expenditure. This encompasses physical activity and activities done while working, playing, doing duties around the house, travelling, and having fun.
Depending on your age group, you may require more or less exercise, but individuals between the ages of 18 and 64 should engage in at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity exercise. For added health advantages, increase moderate-intensity exercise to 300 minutes per week.
