Question 6 • Lifetime Fitness 11th Grade EL2083 B – 202701

Which plan is safe and includes all the necessary parts to completely address the issues involved with improving your body composition?

Answer

Andy wants to increase his lean muscle mass. He is not worried about his BMI because it is in the normal range. He will lift weights five times a week at the maximum intensity possible.

Mark wants to decrease his BMI, so he will exercise for 60 minutes five days a week. He will monitor his strength training using a workout log and plans to eat six, well-balanced, 300-calorie meals a day.

Lisa wants to increase her BMI, so she plans to go running for 60 minutes five days a week. She also plans to eat six, protein-rich meals a day that are about 300 calories each.

Rachel wants to slim down for a big pool party that is coming up next weekend. She is going to exercise for 60 minutes a day. She also plans to reduce her caloric intake to 600 calories a day by eating diet bars.

Explanation

Mark’s plan is the safest and most complete: regular exercise, a workout log to monitor strength training, and balanced meals provide a reasonable approach to improving body composition. Andy plans to exercise at maximum intensity five times a week, which risks overtraining, while Lisa focuses on increasing BMI rather than improving body composition. Rachel’s 600-calorie diet is dangerously restrictive, and her short deadline encourages unsafe weight loss.
