Adults are advised to do at least how much moderate activity per week? 30 minutes in total 150 minutes 600 minutes

Correct!150–300 minutes of moderate activity is the general adult target — that's about 30 minutes, five days a week.

Not quite.The target is at least 150 minutes a week — roughly 30 minutes on five days.

How often should adults do muscle-strengthening activities? Never — cardio is enough On 2 or more days a week Every day without rest

Correct!Strength work protects muscles, bones and joints. Bodyweight exercises and resistance bands count.

Not quite.Aim for strength activities on at least two days a week, with rest days for muscles to recover.

What does the “talk test” tell you about moderate activity? You can talk, but you can't sing You can sing comfortably You can't say more than a word

Correct!If you can talk but not sing, you're at a moderate effort. Only a few words at a time suggests vigorous activity.

Not quite.Moderate effort feels like you can talk but not sing. Only a few words between breaths means vigorous effort.

Short 10-minute bouts of activity don't count towards your weekly total. Myth — every minute adds up Fact — only 30 minutes at a time counts

Correct!Short bouts add up across the day and week. Three brisk 10-minute walks are a real contribution.

Not quite.Activity of any length counts, so short bouts are a great way to start.

If you exercise for 30 minutes, it's fine to sit for the rest of the day. Myth — long sitting is still a risk, so break it up Fact — exercise cancels out sitting completely

Correct!Stand up and move for a couple of minutes every 30–60 minutes, in addition to your planned exercise.

Not quite.Long periods of sitting carry risks even for active people. Move a little every half hour or so.
