Question

which of the following would not be an example of a long - term goal? a. lose 30 pounds in eight months b. run a marathon in two years c. lift weights every other day this week d. qualify for a triathlon in one year

Explanation:

A long - term goal is a goal that takes a relatively long time (usually more than a few weeks) to achieve, involving long - term planning and sustained effort. A short - term goal is one that can be achieved in a short period, like a week or a few days.

• Option A: Losing 30 pounds in eight months is a long - term goal as it takes a significant amount of time.
• Option B: Running a marathon in two years is a long - term goal as it requires long - term training and preparation.
• Option C: Lifting weights every other day this week is a short - term goal because it is focused on a one - week period, which is a very short time frame.
• Option D: Qualifying for a triathlon in one year is a long - term goal as it needs long - term training and preparation over the course of a year.

Answer:

C. lift weights every other day this week
