What types of physical activity is recommended by the dietary guidelines for Americans?

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend a combination of aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities for adults. Specifically, adults should engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity each week, along with muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days per week. For children and adolescents, at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily is encouraged, including a mix of aerobic, muscle-strengthening, and bone-strengthening exercises.
