(1) None of these options are specific fitness training goals. Here's a joke instead: Why don’t scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything!
(2) Kai is most likely to achieve a specific goal. Just like me, when I set goals to make people laugh, I aim for specificity!
(3) Enzo should focus on the skills he will need to improve his times. Maybe he can swim faster by wearing a superhero cape, it would definitely make the water more aerodynamic!
(4) Moira should master each small goal before moving on to the next one. Slow and steady wins the race, just like a turtle on roller skates!
(5) Most fitness experts would say an aerobic workout would be the most beneficial type for Jay. That's because running away from your problems counts as aerobic exercise, right?
(6) Cardio fitness brings oxygen into the blood and requires people to breathe harder. So, basically, it's like doing your laundry - lots of effort, but at least it makes you feel fresh!
(7) Jasmine should include 150 minutes of aerobic activity in her weekly fitness plan. That way she can work up a sweat and pretend it's raining when she can't find her umbrella!
(8) Mel's next highest priority should be strength training. That way, when someone asks for help moving, they'll know who to call!
(9) Nadine is least likely to benefit from becoming more flexible through strength training. But hey, at least she'll be able to do the splits while lifting weights!
(10) Mario would most logically feel sore in his abdomen after an intense core training workout. That's his abs saying "Hey, we did some work today!"
(11) Pelvis is not considered part of the core. So, Sanvi should focus on engaging her pelvis in some other creative way, like giving it a motivational speech!
(12) Guillermo is most likely performing a plank exercise. Planks are great because they give you time to think about your life choices.
(13) Gretta is most likely performing crunches. Crunches are great for building strong abs and dreaming of eating potato chips while lying down!
(14) Ren is most likely performing bridge exercise. I wonder if he's waving to passing cars while holding the pose?
(15) Silvia should try the bird dog exercise. It's like multitasking for your core muscles, they balance and coordinate while imitating a bird and a dog!
(1) The statement that MOST accurately represents a specific fitness training goal for Bruno is "I want to run faster." This statement is more specific compared to the other statements, as it specifies what aspect of fitness Bruno wants to improve.
To come up with a specific fitness training goal, Bruno should focus on defining the desired outcome more precisely. For example, instead of saying "I want to run faster," he can set a specific time goal, such as "I want to complete a 5k run in under 25 minutes."
(2) Kai is most likely to achieve a specific goal. Setting specific goals increases the chances of success because they provide clear direction and focus. Vague goals, open-ended goals, and unrealistic goals can lead to lack of clarity and motivation.
When setting fitness goals, Kai should make them specific and measurable. For example, instead of saying "I want to get fit," a more specific goal could be "I want to be able to run 5 kilometers without stopping within 8 weeks."
(3) The BEST way for Enzo to turn his goal of becoming a faster swimmer into a specific goal is to focus on the skills he will need to improve his times. This means identifying specific areas of technique, stroke efficiency, and endurance that need improvement. For example, he could set a specific goal like "I want to reduce my 100-meter freestyle time by 5 seconds within 2 months."
(4) To MOST likely reach her ultimate goal of Olympic qualification, Moira should approach the 100 smaller goals by mastering each small goal before moving on to the next one. By focusing on one goal at a time and giving it her full attention and effort, Moira can ensure that she achieves and maintains a high level of proficiency in each small goal. Rushing through all the goals, trying to reach all of them at the same time, or accomplishing many small goals simultaneously may result in a lack of focus and lower overall progress.
(5) If Jay has time for only one type of workout during the week, most fitness experts would say that an aerobic workout would be the MOST beneficial type to complete. Aerobic workouts, such as running, cycling, or swimming, help improve cardiovascular endurance, lung capacity, and overall fitness level. They provide numerous health benefits and are essential for maintaining a healthy heart and respiratory system.
(6) What is most likely true about cardio fitness is that it brings oxygen into the blood and requires people to breathe harder. Cardio fitness, also known as cardiovascular fitness or aerobic fitness, refers to the ability of the cardiovascular system (heart, blood vessels, and lungs) to deliver oxygen to the working muscles during prolonged exercise. This type of exercise increases heart rate and breathing rate, promoting better circulation and oxygenation in the body. Adults are recommended to get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week.
(7) To meet the weekly guidelines most commonly recommended for adults and teens, Jasmine should include 150 minutes of aerobic activity in her personal fitness plan. Aerobic activities, such as brisk walking, jogging, dancing, or swimming, help improve cardiovascular health, endurance, and overall fitness level. It is important to choose activities that raise the heart rate and breathing rate to a moderate or vigorous intensity.
(8) When it comes to adding another workout to achieve a well-rounded workout plan, fitness experts would say that strength training should be Mel's NEXT highest priority after cardio fitness. Strength training helps build and maintain lean muscle mass, increase bone density, improve posture, and boost metabolism. It is important to include exercises that target major muscle groups, such as squats, lunges, push-ups, and rows, in order to reap the benefits of strength training.
(9) The LEAST likely benefit for Nadine from her strength training workouts is becoming more flexible. While strength training can improve overall flexibility to some extent, dedicated flexibility exercises, such as stretching and yoga, are more effective for increasing flexibility. However, strength training can provide other benefits, such as developing stronger muscles, increasing bone strength, and burning more calories.
(10) If Mario did an intense core training workout with correct form, he would MOST logically feel sore in his abdomen. Core training exercises, such as planks, crunches, and Russian twists, target the muscles in the abdomen, including the rectus abdominis ("six-pack" muscles), obliques, and transverse abdominis.
(11) The body part that is NOT considered part of Sanvi's core is her pelvis. The core refers to a group of muscles in the trunk of the body that provide stabilization and support for the spine and pelvis. It includes the abdomen, lower back, and glutes (buttocks).
(12) Guillermo is MOST likely performing a plank exercise when he holds still for 20 seconds in a position that looks like the top of a push-up. Planks are a popular core exercise that involves holding a push-up position while engaging the muscles in the core, including the abs, lower back, and glutes.
(13) Gretta is MOST likely performing crunches when she performs an exercise that looks like half of a sit-up. Crunches are a common abdominal exercise that involves lying on the back, bending the knees, and lifting the upper body to contract the abdominal muscles. They are effective for targeting the rectus abdominis.
(14) Ren is MOST likely performing a bridge exercise when he holds a pose in place for 30 seconds. A bridge is a core exercise that involves lying on the back, bending the knees, and lifting the hips off the ground to engage the glutes, hips, and thighs. It is effective for strengthening and stabilizing the lower body.
(15) The exercise that BEST fits Silvia's needs for a more complex core exercise that works coordination, balance, and the abs and back muscles is a bird dog exercise. Bird dogs involve starting on hands and knees, extending one arm forward while simultaneously extending the opposite leg backward. This exercise challenges the core muscles to maintain stability and balance while working the abs, back, and glutes.
(1) The statement that represents a specific fitness training goal for Bruno is "I want to run faster." This statement clearly indicates a specific outcome that Bruno wants to achieve.
(2) The type of goal that Kai is most likely to achieve is a specific goal. Specific goals have clear, measurable targets that can be tracked and achieved.
(3) The best way for Enzo to turn his goal of becoming a faster swimmer into a specific goal is to focus on the skills he will need to improve his times. This means identifying specific techniques, drills, and training methods that will help him become faster.
(4) Moira should approach her 100 smaller goals by mastering each small goal before moving on to the next one. This approach ensures that she focuses on and accomplishes each goal individually, increasing her chances of reaching her ultimate goal of Olympic qualification.
(5) If Jay has time for only one type of workout during the week, most fitness experts would say that the most beneficial type of workout for him to complete is an aerobic workout. Aerobic workouts help improve cardiovascular fitness, strengthen the heart and lungs, and can contribute to overall health and weight management.
(6) The statement that is most likely true about cardio fitness is "It brings oxygen into the blood and requires people to breathe harder." Cardio fitness exercises, such as running, cycling, or swimming, increase the body's need for oxygen and improve the efficiency of the cardiovascular system.
(7) To meet the weekly guidelines most commonly recommended for adults and teens, Jasmine should include 150 minutes of aerobic activity in her personal fitness plan. Aerobic activity helps improve cardiovascular health and can include exercises such as brisk walking, jogging, or dancing.
(8) When prioritizing workouts for a weekly plan, if Mel already prioritizes cardio fitness, fitness experts would say that the next highest priority should be strength training. Strength training helps build muscle, improves bone density, and can enhance overall fitness and functionality.
(9) Nadine is least likely to benefit from her strength training workouts by becoming more flexible. While strength training can provide numerous benefits, such as developing stronger muscles, increasing bone strength, and burning more calories, flexibility is primarily improved through specific stretching exercises.
(10) If Mario completed an intense core training workout with correct form, he is most likely to feel sore in his abdomen. Core training exercises target the muscles in the abdomen, such as the rectus abdominis and obliques, which are responsible for stabilization and movement of the trunk.
(11) The body part that is NOT considered part of Sanvi's core training is the pelvis. The core muscles include the abdomen, lower back, and glutes, but the pelvis is not commonly considered as part of the core muscles.
(12) Guillermo is most likely performing the exercise called a plank. In a plank, the individual holds a position that resembles the top of a push-up, engaging the core muscles, including the abdominals and lower back, to stabilize the body.
(13) Gretta is most likely performing the exercise called crunches. Crunches involve lying on the back, curling the upper body towards the knees while keeping the neck and shoulders relaxed, targeting the abdominal muscles.
(14) Ren is most likely performing the exercise called a bridge. In a bridge, the individual lies on their back, lifting their hips off the ground to engage their glutes, hips, and thighs.
(15) The exercise that best fits Silvia's needs of working her coordination, balance, abs, and back muscles is the bird dog. In a bird dog exercise, the individual is on their hands and knees, extending one arm forward while extending the opposite leg backward, engaging the core muscles for stability.
