alexandr402 [8]

Okay so, Andrea is wanting to improve flexibility. The question is asking what would NOT compliment her present work out. She is already doing flexiblity and strength buliding exercises.

Biking- This is a cardio exercise and will work on her endurance 
Cross Country Skiing- I am not really sure what all this has to deal with but I assume cardio and strength buliding
Swimming- This is as well a cardio and can be for strength training.
 Weightlifting- is a strength buliding exercise.
 
 I am going on a whim here, but I believe the answer is Biking because biking is the only one that is normally only used as a cardio exercise, and Andrea is wanting to improve her flexiblity.
