The CDC recommends a minimum 90 minutes a week for weight-resistance training. The weight training is in addition to the 2- 2 1/2 hours of aerobic exercise recommended.
I sometimes walk/jog but mostly just bicycle (because I love cycling) so my aerobic portion is easily covered in half decent weather. I also do a 20 minute weight, calisthenics, and resistance-band work-out 5-7 times a week. to cover my 90 minutes of recommended weight training.
This isn't because I race. I don't race! I am just an old man that wants to feel decent.
