How Much Exercise Do You Need?

Adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate activity each week — start small and build up.

Over half of Australians are not getting enough physical activity. But the good news is — even small steps make a difference, and there's a clear guide to get started.

Recommended minimum for adults:

  • 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week (e.g. brisk walking), or
  • 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity (e.g. running)
  • Plus two sessions of muscle-strengthening activities weekly

If that sounds like too much, start small. Even 10 minutes a day builds momentum — anything is better than nothing.
