Question

which of the following activities provides a good cardio - respiratory workout?
a. swimming laps
b. practicing yoga
c. lifting weights
d. taking a breathing technique class

Explanation:

Cardio - respiratory workouts involve sustained physical activity that elevates the heart rate and breathing rate. Swimming laps is a continuous, aerobic activity that engages large muscle groups and increases heart and lung function. Yoga (B) is more about flexibility and strength with slower, controlled movements. Lifting weights (C) is a strength - training activity. Taking a breathing technique class (D) focuses mainly on breathing patterns rather than a full cardio - respiratory workout.

Answer:

A. Swimming laps
