IDENTIFYING YOUR BALANCED FITNESS GOALS ■ Muscular Strength ■ Cardiovascular Fitness The new statement, published in 1991, repeats the four recommendations on duration, intensity, frequency and various modes of aerobic activity, with slight changes. The duration is now 20 to 60 minutes, versus a minimum of 15 minutes in the past. Intensity of exercise can be determined by two methods. The first is the familiar use of target heart rate.
