An individual who currently jogs outdoors for exercise would like to try a low-impact alternative. The individual wants an aerobic activity that would expend about as many calories as jogging, and that would also tone lower body muscles such as the thighs and buttocks. Which of the following activities would be an appropriate initial consideration?
  1. Pilates
  2. Jumping rope
  3. Bowling
  4. Inline skating
Explanation
Correct Response: D. Inline skating can provide a good aerobic workout that focuses on toning lower body muscles. An individual skating at 20 miles per hour can burn 6 calories per minute or about 360 calories per hour. Pilates (A) and bowling (C) are generally less aerobic in intensity and expend fewer calories. Jumping rope (B) can provide an aerobic workout but also focuses heavily on upper body fitness.
