Does walking count as moderate exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Brisk walking, about 3-4 miles per hour does count as moderate exercise. Moderate physical activity is when you can carry on a conversation when you're exercising. The recommended amount of moderate exercise per week for adults is 150 minutes, divided over 5-7 days.
