The Centers for Disease Control recommends that adults engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity per week, along with muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days per week. Option A only includes strength training and not enough aerobic activity, option B includes enough aerobic activity but the intensity is too low, and option D includes enough aerobic activity but the frequency and intensity are too low. Option C includes enough moderate-intensity aerobic activity and could potentially meet the muscle-strengthening recommendation if the client also engages in that type of activity on at least 2 other days of the week.
