Explanation:

Sub - Question 1

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Resistance training: Can use external weights or body weight, but not specifically defined by only body weight.
• Isometrics: Involves static muscle contractions, not necessarily using body weight for resistance in the way described.
• Calisthenics: By definition, is a form of fitness training that uses one's own body weight for resistance (e.g., push - ups, sit - ups, pull - ups).
• Aerobics: Focuses on cardiovascular exercise, not resistance training with body weight.

We analyze each option:

• Tailored to your specific fitness goals and needs: A personal fitness program is designed based on an individual's goals (e.g., weight loss, muscle gain, flexibility) and needs (e.g., any injuries, fitness level), so this is a major benefit.
• Does not push you too hard: A good personal fitness program should challenge you appropriately, and "not pushing too hard" is not a major benefit (it could even be a drawback if it's too easy).
• Does not involve others: Personal fitness programs can involve others (e.g., a personal trainer), and this is not a major benefit.
• Includes little variety: A good personal fitness program should have variety to avoid plateaus and keep the individual engaged, so this is a drawback, not a benefit.
