During pregnancy, what is the recommended weekly aerobic activity duration?

• A. More than 150 minutes per week
• B. 150 to 300 minutes per week
• C. 60 to 120 minutes per week
• D. No minimum required per week

Answer: (A)

The main concept is that pregnant individuals should aim for a substantial amount of aerobic activity each week to support health and pregnancy outcomes. The recommended goal is at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, ideally spread across most days, with the option to add more if tolerated and advised by a clinician.

Choosing more than 150 minutes per week reflects meeting and potentially exceeding that minimum guideline, which aligns with the idea of maintaining regular aerobic activity during pregnancy. The other options either propose too little activity, impose an unnecessary upper limit, or suggest no minimum, which doesn’t fit current guidance.
