Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is C. walking for 30 minutes around the neighborhood

Explanation:

If anyone has not worked out for several years and wants to start the physical activity then he must starts with a slow and less intense physical activity or exercise like walking or jogging for half an hour or skipping.

During beginning intense exercise is not suggestible because it can put extra pressure on body muscles which can cause over exhaustion or can lead to injury.

So as Jerry has not worked out in several years walking for 30 minutes around the neighborhood would be the most appropriate activity for his fitness level because it is the least intense exercise.  Therefore the correct answer is C.
