How often should you work out?

The short answer is… whatever is right for you! Experts recommend you get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise a week. Moderate aerobic exercises include walking quickly or swimming. Alternatively aim for 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise a week. This could be running, bicycling, or dancing! Experts also recommend you participate in strength training at least 2 times a week. Strength training includes body weight exercises, weight machines, or rock climbing! A good goal is to aim for 30 minutes of activity a day, you can break this up into shorter chunks to make it more attainable! One easy way to increase your activity levels would be to opt to walk to class rather than take the bus.
