Activity that is equivalent to brisk walking in intensity includes activities such as cycling at a moderate pace, water aerobics, or dancing. These activities elevate the heart rate similar to brisk walking, typically around 3 to 6 METs (Metabolic Equivalent of Task). Other examples may include hiking on level terrain or engaging in a vigorous game of doubles tennis. These activities can provide similar cardiovascular benefits.

Moderate intensity activity is positioned at the base of the activity pyramid because it is accessible and sustainable for most individuals, making it a foundational element of a healthy lifestyle. This level of activity, such as brisk walking or cycling, can be easily integrated into daily routines and is effective for improving cardiovascular health, managing weight, and enhancing overall well-being. By encouraging regular participation in moderate intensity activities, people can build a solid base for more vigorous exercise and reap long-term health benefits.
The WHO guidelines recommend that adults should do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity per week. Children and adolescents should do at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity daily. These guidelines should be followed by everyone to maintain good health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
