Group Fitness Instructor

Answer: A - The American College of Sports Medicine’s 2011 “Guidance for Prescribing Exercise” has clarified that - though cardiopulmonary exercise can serve a protective function - it is not a cure-all. Active adults can still develop heart problems and even adults who try to “make up” for their sedentary lifestyles with intermittent exercise remain at risk for cardiovascular and other health complaints, such as obesity. Balance, agility, coordination and gait are best addressed through Neuro Motor Training (sometimes called “functional fitness training”) and even the elderly should participate in progressive resistance training as this is one of the best methods to combat the loss of bone mass (osteoporosis).
