Developing Muscular Strength and Endurance

Question 4 • FL-1501300-Personal Fitness

Martina wants to increase her strength in her lower and upper body to help her in her new waitressing job. Right now, Martina lifts weights once a week and includes exercises that work out all muscle groups. Which change in her workout would be BEST to help her meet her goals?

Answer
A
making sure that she targets the groups in the upper body and works these groups out every day
B
concentrating on the muscle groups that will strengthen only her arms and legs for her job and doing this workout every day
C
working out her arms on Monday, her legs on Wednesday, and her stomach on Friday.
D
making sure there is variety, at least 48 hours of rest for specific muscle groups, and that each target group gets a workout three times a week

Explanation

To build strength safely, Martina should train the muscles used for her job while allowing them time to recover. A workout plan with variety, at least 48 hours of rest before working the same muscle groups again, and regular training for each target group supports both lower- and upper-body strength. Working the same muscles every day, as choices A and B suggest, does not provide enough recovery; choice C leaves some groups undertrained.
