The physical activity guidelines for Americans recommend getting at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity OR 75 minutes of high-intensity aerobic activity along with at least 2 resistance training sessions per week, and even more for those seeking weight loss. It is safe to say that many people do not get enough, but often overestimate the amount they are getting or intensity they are working at. 

This calculator and tracker is a useful tool to help dietitians and their clients track their activity frequency, duration, and intensity based on heart rate.
