What is the minimum recommended weekly volume of aerobic activity?

• A. ≥60 mins/week
• B. ≥30 mins/week
• C. ≥150 mins/week
• D. ≥300 mins/week

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is the minimum amount of aerobic activity adults should aim for each week to gain meaningful health benefits. The established target is 150 minutes per week of moderate‑intensity aerobic activity (or 75 minutes of vigorous activity, or an equivalent mix). This weekly total is the threshold below which the broad health benefits become less reliable, and it’s the amount most guidelines use as the baseline.

In practical terms, you can reach this by about 30 minutes of moderate activity on five days, or by combining shorter sessions across the week. Choices that aim for much less than 150 minutes miss the standard minimum, while options higher than 150 are beneficial but exceed the minimum.
