Question

which example most closely approximates the advanced guideline for weekly exercise for an older adult who has already achieved the initial goal of 2.5 hours of moderate - to - vigorous exercise per week?
perform 200 minutes of moderate exercise and 100 minutes of vigorous exercise weekly.
walk at a moderate pace for 30 minutes daily.
participate in 150 minutes of moderate exercise and 75 minutes of vigorous exercise weekly.
attend a 60 - minute high - intensity exercise class 4 days per week.

Explanation:

The initial goal is 2.5 hours (150 minutes) of moderate - to - vigorous exercise per week. Advanced guidelines often suggest increasing the amount. 60 - minute high - intensity (vigorous) exercise classes 4 days a week amounts to 240 minutes of vigorous exercise per week, which is an increase from the initial goal. The other options do not represent a significant increase over the initial 2.5 - hour goal.

Answer:

Attend a 60 - minute high - intensity exercise class 4 days per week.
