Don’t think these Fitness Me In mini-workouts will help out? Relax – exercising for 10 minutes at a time is fine, according to the new Physical Activity Guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“Not only is it best to spread your activity out during the week, but you can break it up into smaller chunks of time during the day. As long as you're doing your activity at a moderate or vigorous effort for at least 10 minutes at a time,” according to the CDC.
Overall, the CDC recommends 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) each week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes) of vigorous intensity aerobic activity.
You also should include muscle-strengthening activities two or more days a week, according to the CDC.
