The article from MSN outlines the NHS guidelines on the recommended amount of exercise for adults to maintain health and fitness. According to the NHS, adults aged 19 to 64 should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity each week, or a combination of both. Additionally, muscle-strengthening exercises should be performed at least twice a week. The guidelines also emphasize the importance of reducing sedentary time, suggesting that even light activity can offset some of the health risks associated with sitting for long periods. The article further explains that moderate activities include brisk walking or cycling, while vigorous activities might include running or playing sports like football. It also highlights the benefits of exercise, such as reducing the risk of major illnesses like heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes, and improving mental health.
