D.
Wanda's test results show that she is in the normal and healthy range. In order to maintain her current body composition, she should combine cardiovascular training with resistance training.

The correct answer is letter C.

Answer 2

Answer:

C.Wanda's waist circumference indicates that she is not at risk, but her BMI indicates that she underweight. She should develop a plan to move her BMI into the normal range.

Explanation:

THe healthy range for a healthy adult woman varies in the terms of inches, but anything above 35 is risky for women, in this case Wanda has nothing to worry about wiht her 30 inches waist, but the healthy Body Mass Index for adult women goes from 18.5 to 24.5 so she is below the BMI and seems to be underweight, so she should create a diet with her dietitian in order to be able to gain the healthy weight she needs.
