Quick answer: Two to three full-body strength sessions a week, plus about 150 minutes of moderate activity, is what the CDC recommends for adults. A simple plan of squats, push-ups, rows, hinges and carries, with gradual increases, builds strength, supports healthy weight and helps energy.
The routine
- Goblet squat: 3 sets of 8 to 10
- Push-up or press: 3 sets of 8 to 12
- Row: 3 sets of 10
- Hip hinge: 3 sets of 8
- Farmer carry: 3 walks of 30 metres
Progress
Add a rep or a little weight each week while form stays clean.
