The Australian Department of Health recommends each person accumulates between 150-300 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity or 75-150 minutes of vigorous physical activity each week. To break this down, that’s 22-44 minutes of moderate exercise such as walking and Pilates each day, or 11-22 minutes of vigorous exercise such as running, walking fast uphill, swimming laps, football, netball or singles’ tennis. Vigorous exercise indicators are a high heart rate and breathing rate, finding it difficult to talk while exercising, sweating and muscle fatigue.

These guidelines are in place to manage both physical and mental wellbeing and are not intended for gaining significant increases in fitness or losing weight. These guidelines were put out to aid in reducing the risk of chronic disease and obesity, which is becoming a nationwide problem.
