It seems like every year you make that resolution to exercise more, right? Next step: go get that gym membership and be dedicated for a month or two. Then … you may start to go every other 2 weeks until more than likely you just stop going at all and are mad cuz you feel like you wasted money.

But how much exercise do you really need to be fit? It's recommended that adults 18-64 get at least 2.5 hours of moderate to vigorous exercise per week for 10 minutes or more. Exercise for muscles and bones should be done at least two days per week.

According to a study, these guidelines are too high, and don't keep people motivated. Researchers say choose what makes you feel good and helps the most for your body.

If you're trying to lose weight, it's suggested that you exercise 3-4 times a week for 20-30 minutes.

That seems doable... right?
