I'm attempting to do 500 plus minutes a week as started new exercise programme.

So that's over an hour a day of something. Today I've done yoga, weights, aqua aerobics.

I’ve gone from barely any to 150 minutes a week which is the minimum recommended.

I am going to the gym 4 times a week and walking in between. Hoping to build up to 30 minutes every day.

Just checked my fitbit too. Ranges from 500 - 850. That's walking the school run when I can and classes most days at the gym. I'd class myself as very active so I think 500 mins a week from sedentary is quite a high target. It may be better for you to aim for 300 the 1st week, 400 the next etc. Or just go for the 500 and see how you feel. What you don't want to do is end up knackering yourself out the 1st week and dropping back to next to nothing.

Oh that's good. I'm attempting to bump myself from sedentary to active as sitting is having a horrible impact on my health (knees/hips)

I've just looked at my Fitbit stats and last couple of weeks was just over 500 minutes. I'm happy with that. I do 4 (ish) classes a week as well as school runs and I've got a pretty active job
