What is the recommendation for the minimum amount of daily moderate exercise for adults?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About 15 min: of met 3-4 per day (this is not even a brisk walk). Lowers risks of diabetes and cardiovascular problems by about half. While data on stress tests say more is better, this is controversial on the upper limit and really heavy exercise certainly is a bit dangerous in the short run.
