Answer 1

Frequency of 7 days for both intense cardiovascular and weight training exercise

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the recommendations of the ACSM for minimal activity, healthy adults needs 5 days weekly of physical activity with a minimum of 30 minutes each day and must be of moderate, OR 3 days weekly of high-intensity activity and for a period of 20 minutes. Hence there is no requirement of a 7 days physical activity anywhere in the recommendations.
