It depends on your goals. Do you want to get more fit? Do you just want to maintain your current fitness level? How fit are you now?

If you are very inactive and unfit, start off slowly. Do 20-30 minutes, four days a week. Be careful not to strain, and always warm up first.

If you are currently somewhat active and looking to improve your fitness, go for at least 30 minutes, five or six days a week. Then you can gradually increase it if you wish to become very fit. A very fit person would be putting in at least six hours per week.

You should include all components of fitness- cardio, strength, and flexibility.

So, for example, you could walk, bike or run 3 days a week and do weight training and stretching the other three. Never train the same muscles with weights two days in a row.

Who needs the most calories people who are active or people that is not active?

People who are active typically need more calories than those who are not active. This is because physical activity increases energy expenditure, which requires more calories to fuel the body's needs. In contrast, people who are less active have lower energy demands and therefore require fewer calories.
