Which exercise would not be appropriate to help reduce the weight-bearing stress of exercise on an obese client?
  1. Hiking
  2. Water aerobics
  3. Step aerobics
  4. Deep water running
Explanation
Answer: C - Step aerobics would not be appropriate to help reduce the weight-bearing stress of exercise on an obese client. Step aerobics may be too high-impact for an obese client. Additionally, this activity requires good balance and the use of legs independently of each other, both of which might be difficult for an obese client.
