Best Answer

The UK government recommendation on "minimum exercise levels" is 30 minutes five times per week, doing any form of exercise, for adults. (Children are expected to do higher levels).

But your question on "improving" health depends hugely on what the persons' current fitness level is, which is why it is not possible to give a general guideline on that basis. Similarly, "maintaining" the fitness of a person who is already extraordinarily fit will require far greater levels of activity than maintaining a person who is very unfit.

How do you maintain a six pack?

Generally, you can maintain a six-pack by doing the same thing you did to get the six-pack in the first place.

In order to maintain the definition (the 'cut') of your abs, you should apply resistance training to them a could times per week (crunches are sufficient if you do not have the time or access to equipment to perform resisted crunches).
