Beginners should start their cardiorespiratory exercise duration with how many minutes of activity?

  1. 5 to 10 minutes

  2. 10 to 15 minutes

  3. 20 to 25 minutes

  4. 30 minutes

The correct answer is: 10 to 15 minutes

It is recommended for beginners to start their cardiorespiratory exercise duration with 10 to 15 minutes of activity, gradually increasing the duration as they become more comfortable and accustomed to exercising. Starting with a longer duration (choices C and D) can be overwhelming and lead to burnout or injury. Similarly, starting with too short of a duration (choice A) may not provide enough time for a proper warm-up and may not yield significant health benefits. The range given in choice B strikes a balance between gradually building endurance and avoiding overexertion.
