Adults should aim for 150-300 minutes of moderate aerobic activity and twice-weekly strength training, but can start small, according to physical therapist Limor Iluz. Daily activities like walking for errands or taking stairs count towards fitness goals. While 10,000 steps are often cited, any increase in activity is beneficial, with consistency being key. The focus should be on finding sustainable activities that fit personal abilities and conditions.
