How Much Cardio Should I Do?

How Much Cardio Should I Do?

This is a great question and one I get asked a lot!  How much cardio should I do each day?

Cardiovascular activity - or aerobic exercise - is any activity that gets your blood pumping and large muscle groups working!

Some examples are:

  • Brisk walking
  • Swimming
  • Running
  • Biking
  • HIIT workouts
  • Playing sports such as soccer
  • Dancing

So how much should you do?

It’s recommended to get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise, or 75 minutes of vigorous activity each week. Brisk walking or swimming are examples of moderate activity. Running or cycling are examples of vigorous activity.

That equals about 150 minutes is 30 minutes, 5 days a week. It's totally doable and a great goal to shoot for.
