How many minutes per week are recommended for vigorous activity?

• A. 60 Minutes
• B. 75 Minutes
• C. 90 Minutes
• D. 120 Minutes

Answer: (C)

The amount of vigorous activity you aim for each week is about totaling enough time that your cardiovascular system gets a strong, sustained stimulus. Guidelines commonly state a minimum of about 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic work per week, or roughly 150 minutes of moderate activity, plus some days of strength work. In practice, a clear, workable weekly target for many people is around 90 minutes of vigorous activity, often achieved by three 30-minute sessions. This gives a practical buffer above the minimum and fits typical workout schedules, making it a common recommendation. So 90 minutes is used as a neat, attainable weekly target that aligns with the idea of substantial vigorous effort across the week. Totals below the minimum don’t meet the vigorous-activity goal, while higher totals are possible, but 90 minutes sits at a practical middle ground.
