According to the CDC, adults aged 18-64 should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (such as brisk walking) per week or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity (such as running) per week, along with muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days per week. Option C is the only client meeting this recommendation by walking briskly for 30 minutes, six days per week. The other options fall short of meeting the recommended amount of physical activity.
