This week’s graph shows the percentage of adults in the United States who meet both muscle-strengthening and aerobic physical activity guidelines by level of educational attainment. Overall, 22.5% of adults achieved recommended levels for both activity types in 2022. Individuals who had lower educational attainment were less likely to meet recommended guidelines for physical activity.
