Question

1. although devon begins his exercise program with 10 minutes of moderate - intensity types of physical activities 3 days a week, which of the following workout regimens should he achieve before moving on to the next stage of his fitness plan?

45 minutes of low intensity activity 3 days a week
25 minutes of high intensity activity 1 day a week
60 minutes of resistance training with no aerobic activities
30 minutes of moderate intensity activity 5 days a week

Explanation:

According to general fitness guidelines, for moderate - intensity physical activity, adults are recommended to aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate - intensity aerobic activity per week. If Devon starts with 10 minutes 3 days a week (10×3 = 30 minutes), to progress, a common recommendation is to build up. 30 minutes of moderate - intensity activity 5 days a week (30×5=150 minutes) meets the general weekly moderate - intensity aerobic activity guideline. Low - intensity activity (45 minutes 3 days a week) is less effective for cardiovascular fitness progression compared to moderate - intensity. High - intensity (25 minutes 1 day a week) is too infrequent. Resistance training alone (60 minutes with no aerobic) does not address the aerobic component of fitness progression.

Answer:

30 minutes of moderate intensity activity 5 days a week.
