This can be interpreted as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity 5 days a week<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity 5 days a week<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They should also engage in strengthening activities that involve all major muscle groups at least two days a week.
