Question

Bethany walks on the treadmill at least four times per week to maintain her cardiovascular health. Lately, she has been finding excuses not to exercise and is starting to miss one or two sessions each week. How can she apply the SPORT principles to get her workouts back on track?
A)She can focus on progression by walking slower for fewer minutes on the treadmill.
B)She can take a break from walking for a few weeks in order to prevent reversibility.
C)She can start to lift weights while walking on the treadmill to increase specificity.
D)She can explore other types of physical activity to combat the tedium of her workout.

Answer 1

The best answer would be letter D. Walking on the treadmill is easy but the hard part is being consistent with your routine in order to maintain cardiovascular health. As Bethany goes on walking on the treadmill, the activity becomes familiar which leads to boredom. She needs to explore other physical activities so that excitement and the interest will still be there.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D) She can explore other types of physical activity to combat the tedium of her workout. From the explanation sentences it's clear that Bethany is bored. If you wish to exercise regularly, change is always needed, since, if you're just doing the same thing over and over again, it's bount to become tedious.
