I agree with alysiak's response that quantity, frequency and duration, along with intensity-level, of your exercise depends on your current fitness level and future fitness goals.
However, there are national standards and guidelines published by the American College of Sports Medicine (www.ACSM.org) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (www.CDC.gov) regarding Physical Activity and Public Health. The American Heart Association (www.americanheart.org) also endorses these guidelines.
I'll look into the most recent national guidelines and post again soon...
