Good amount: The cdc recommends at least 150 min./week of moderate or 75 min./week of vigorous exercise a week, as well as muscle-strengthening activities at least 2 days a week. More is even better but your level seems quite good. Keep up the good work! see http://www.Cdc.Gov/physicalactivity/everyone/guidelines/adults.Html for details.
