(A) 10 minutes five times a week
(B) 10 minutes two times a week
(C) 20 minutes three times a week
(D) 20 minutes four times a week
10 minutes five times a week: While any amount of exercise can be beneficial, 10 minutes five times a week may not be sufficient to achieve significant health benefits according to most health guidelines, which typically recommend longer durations.
10 minutes two times a week: This option provides even less exercise than the first one, making it unlikely to meet the minimum recommended exercise for health benefits.
22 minutes three times a week: This option aligns more closely with general health guidelines, which often suggest at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. While this option totals 66 minutes, it is closer to the recommended amount than the other options.
20 minutes four times a week: This option totals 80 minutes per week, which is still below the typical recommendation of 150 minutes per week, but it is more beneficial than the first two options.
In summary, while none of the options fully meet the standard recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, 22 minutes three times a week is a reasonable starting point for gaining some health benefits.
