Step training is typically a more intense workout than traditional aerobics. Which participant would have the most difficulty participating in a step training class?
  1. A woman in her first trimester of pregnancy
  2. A senior citizen who was a former competitive athlete
  3. An obese woman with osteoarthritis of the knees
  4. A man in his 40’s who has never participated in formal exercise classes
Explanation
Answer: C - People with obesity, low back pain, arthritis of the lower extremities, and those who are at risk of falls would have the most difficulty safely participating in a step training class. However, because the step height can be adjusted, step training remains a suitable exercise program for most levels of fitness and experience. (Pregnant women who have not been exercising prior to pregnancy should not initiate a new aggressive exercise program during pregnancy.)
