What actually counts as 'Moderate Exercise'



Examples of moderate exercise include:

1. Brisk walking: Walking at a pace where you can maintain a conversation but still feel your heart rate increase is considered moderate exercise. Aim for a pace of about 3 to 4 miles per hour.

2. Cycling: Riding a bike on flat terrain or at a moderate speed is considered moderate exercise. You should feel some exertion but still be able to talk comfortably.

3. Swimming: Swimming laps at a moderate pace is a great way to get a full-body workout while staying within the moderate exercise intensity range.

4. Jogging or running: Running at a moderate pace, where you can still talk in short sentences but feel your heart rate increase, is considered moderate exercise.

5. Dancing: Participating in a dance class or dancing to your favorite music at a moderate intensity can be a fun and effective way to get your heart rate up.

6. Hiking: Walking on hilly terrain or at a steady pace on moderate trails can provide a moderate-intensity workout.

7. Tennis: Playing singles tennis or doubles tennis at a moderate intensity can provide both cardiovascular and strength benefits.
