The American Heart Association recommends a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate-intensity cardiovascular exercise most days of the week, in addition to resistance exercise (weight lifting). It also recommends a minimum of 60 to 90 minutes of cardiovascular exercise a day for those trying to lose weight or maintain weight loss. The American Heart Association also notes that "Because of the dose-response relation between physical activity and health, persons who wish to further improve their personal fitness, reduce their risk for chronic diseases and disabilities or prevent unhealthy weight gain may benefit by exceeding the minimum recommended amounts of physical activity" (Haskell et al.)
