how many METs is that: Moderate is more than 3 METs, vigorous is more than 6, You have to do the activity for more than 10 minutes to get credit.
You can think of this as MET-minutes. you want 500-100 MET-minutes. So say you did an hour of moderate and an hour of vigorous exercise. You walked for an hour + 3.5 x 60 = 210 METs And you ran for 30 minutes 10.5 METs x 30 = 315 Together that's 525. You're halfway done for the week.
