The recommendations are the level of total activity based on sedentary lifestyles, a minimum to be completed. If you have pain or long term fatigue that is the feedback of overdoing your exercise. A pedometer is a useful tool to count steps, and therefore makes it easier to regulate activity. Congratulations on keeping fit! Thank you for your comments.

I understand that there is a minimum recommended exercise regimen. However I am not sure if this minimum recommendation is on top of some established level of activity or based on being totally sedentary. For example I walk a few miles in the hospital going on rounds. How can I know if I am not going to be overdoing my exercise. Should I use a pedometer or some other objective way. For example I went on a 5 hour hill walk that was at an intense level. Does this mean I have done the max and any more will mean the point of diminishing returns or point of doing harm ? Thank you for your time Dr Afshin Hi guys
