A cohort of more than 100,000 people used accelerometers to capture their movement over the course of a week, the study said.
Adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week, according to the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
“Even for me, if I have a crazy something or other going on, I might concentrate more on a weekend,” Freeman said.
One study from 2021 found that as little as 11 minutes a day can increase your life span.
On the days you miss a workout, Freeman encourages making sure to make up the time later in the week to get the 150 minutes.
