According to the Canadian Diabetes Association,adults should accumulate 150 minutes or more per week of moderate-intensity (brisk)physical activity.One hour per week,or 15 minutes a day for four days,and 10 minutes a day,for a total of 1 hour per week,are not considered adequate amounts of time for exercise for adults.One hour per day,for a weekly total of 7 hours,exceeds the recommended amount of exercise time for adults,but the statement does not specify the intensity of the physical activity.
