New Exercise Guidelines

From the American Heart Association and the American College of Sports Medicine:

Moderate aerobic exercise 30 minutes a day, five days a week, or vigorous aerobic exercise 20 minutes a day, three days a week .... and strength -training twice a week. People age 65 and older also should do exercises to improve or maintain balance three times a week to minimize their risk for falling.
