CDC Physical Activity Guidelines: Do You Meet Them?

What constitutes "moderate" and "vigorous"? I get about 3 hours a week of anaerobic activity. Once cutting season starts I'm gonna add 3 hours of "moderate" (for me) aerobic activity to that.

Between Saturday and Sunday, I ran 10 miles and biked a total of 26 miles......yeah I probably get more than enough considering the HIIT and lifting done during the week. 150 minutes really isn't that much when you could easily get that in a day or two.
Probably not, working full time is screwing me up.
I will be since I switched gyms, hopefully it’ll show.
I got winded in a single pickup game, after the longest stretch of semi-inactivity in my life.

need to define moderate and vigorous, they also make it seem like strength training is separate from "activity"...
anyway, i'm sure i get more than enough activity

For moderate-intensity physical activity, a person's target heart rate should be 50 to 70% of his or her maximum heart rate. This maximum rate is based on the person's age. An estimate of a person's maximum age-related heart rate can be obtained by subtracting the person's age from 220.
For vigorous-intensity physical activity, a person's target heart rate should be 70 to 85% of his or her maximum heart rate. To calculate this range, follow the same formula as used above, except change "50 and 70%" to "70 and 85%". For example, for a 35-year-old person, the estimated maximum age-related heart rate would be calculated as 220 - 35 years = 185 beats per minute (bpm). The 70% and 85% levels would be:
- 70% level: 185 x 0.70 = 130 bpm, and
- 85% level: 185 x 0.85 = 157 bpm
