    150 minutes/week moderate activity, or 75 min vigorous
    muscle-strengthening sessions each week
    ≥1hr movement breaks on sedentary days

    A quick self-check, not a clinical assessment. If a health condition affects your activity, worth a conversation with your GP before making changes.
