Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that higher amounts of physical activity are needed to prevent weight regain than the U.S. government's recommended 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity per week for overall health. This is because weight regain requires greater energy balance than weight loss. Therefore, individuals who have lost weight and want to maintain their weight loss may need to engage in 60-90 minutes of moderate intensity activity per day.
