- B.
B. Intermediate

Smaller than your usual portion sizes can help with weight loss
- A.
A. True
- B.
B. False
Correct Answer
A. A. TrueExplanation
Smaller portion sizes can indeed help with weight loss. When we consume smaller portions, we are reducing our overall calorie intake, which can lead to weight loss over time. By eating smaller portions, we are also training our bodies to be satisfied with less food, which can help control our hunger and prevent overeating. Additionally, smaller portion sizes can help us become more mindful of our eating habits and make healthier food choices. Therefore, it is true that smaller portion sizes can be beneficial for weight loss.Rate this question:

Which of these foods does NOT keep you fuller longer?
- A.
A. Fruits
- B.
B. Vegetables
- C.
C. Salty snacks
- D.
D. Whole grains
Correct Answer
C. C. Salty snacksExplanation
Salty snacks do not keep you fuller longer because they are typically high in sodium and low in fiber. These snacks are often processed and contain ingredients like refined carbohydrates and unhealthy fats, which can be quickly digested and lead to a spike in blood sugar levels. This rapid digestion and blood sugar spike can cause a short-lived feeling of fullness, followed by a quick drop in energy and hunger shortly after consuming salty snacks. In contrast, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are high in fiber and other nutrients that promote satiety and provide sustained energy, keeping you fuller for longer.Rate this question:

How many minutes minimum should you be exercising per week?
- A.
A. 75
- B.
B. 150
- C.
C. 175
- D.
D. 200
Correct Answer
B. B. 150Explanation
The correct answer is B. 150. According to the American Heart Association, adults should engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week. This recommendation promotes cardiovascular health, helps maintain a healthy weight, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. Regular exercise also improves mood and mental well-being.Rate this question:

How often should you do muscle strengthening activities?
- A.
A. 1 time per week
- B.
B. 2 times per week
- C.
C. 3 times per month
- D.
D. 6 times per month
Correct Answer
B. B. 2 times per weekExplanation
Muscle strengthening activities should be done at least 2 times per week. This frequency allows for adequate stress and recovery to promote muscle growth and strength. Doing these activities less frequently may not provide enough stimulus for muscle adaptation, while doing them more frequently may not allow for proper recovery and could increase the risk of injury. Therefore, the recommended frequency of 2 times per week strikes a balance between providing enough stimulus and allowing for adequate recovery.Rate this question:

Which of the following is NOT a sign that you should stop physical activity and seek help right away?
- A.
A. pain, tightness, or pressure in your chest, neck, shoulder, or arm
- B.
B. extreme shortness of breath
- C.
C. muscle soreness
- D.
D. dizziness or sickness
Correct Answer
C. C. muscle sorenessExplanation
Muscle soreness is a common and expected outcome of physical activity, especially when starting a new exercise routine or increasing the intensity of the workout. It is not typically a sign that you should stop physical activity and seek help right away. On the other hand, pain, tightness, or pressure in the chest, neck, shoulder, or arm, extreme shortness of breath, and dizziness or sickness can be indicators of a more serious condition such as a heart attack or respiratory problem, which require immediate medical attention.Rate this question:

Walking can help burn calories, improve your fitness, lift your mood, and strengthen your bones and muscles
- A.
A. True
- B.
B. False
Correct Answer
A. A. TrueExplanation
Walking is a low-impact exercise that can indeed help burn calories and improve fitness. It increases heart rate and boosts metabolism, contributing to weight loss. Regular walking also strengthens muscles, including those in the legs, core, and back. It is a weight-bearing exercise that helps to improve bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Additionally, walking releases endorphins, which can improve mood and reduce stress. Therefore, all the statements mentioned in the answer are true, making option A the correct answer.Rate this question:

You have to complete all of your physical activity at once
- A.
A. True
- B.
B. False
Correct Answer
B. B. FalseExplanation
The statement is false because it is not necessary to complete all physical activity at once. Physical activity can be spread out throughout the day and still provide health benefits. It is recommended to engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week, which can be accomplished in multiple sessions. Breaking up physical activity into shorter bouts can be more manageable and easier to fit into a busy schedule.Rate this question:

Which type of physical activity puts the least amount of stress on your joints?
- A.
A. walking
- B.
B. dancing
- C.
C. biking
- D.
D. water exercise
Correct Answer
D. D. water exerciseExplanation
Water exercise puts the least amount of stress on your joints compared to walking, dancing, and biking. This is because the buoyancy of water reduces the impact on your joints, making it a low-impact activity. The water supports your body weight, reducing the strain on your joints, and provides resistance, allowing for a good workout without putting excessive stress on your joints.Rate this question:

Proper form is NOT important when weight lifting
- A.
A. True
- B.
B. False
Correct Answer
B. B. FalseExplanation
Proper form is important when weight lifting to ensure safety and maximize the effectiveness of the exercise. Using proper form helps to target the intended muscles, reduces the risk of injury, and allows for better control and stability during the movement. Without proper form, there is a higher chance of straining or injuring muscles, joints, or ligaments. Therefore, the statement that proper form is not important when weight lifting is false.Rate this question:

Check all the exercises that are considered mind and body exercises.
- A.
A. yoga
- B.
B. biking
- C.
C. tai chi
- D.
D. pilates
Correct Answer(s)
A. A. yoga
C. C. tai chi
D. D. pilatesExplanation
Yoga, tai chi, and pilates are considered mind and body exercises because they involve both physical movements and mental focus. These exercises require concentration, balance, and coordination, which help to strengthen the mind-body connection. Practicing yoga, tai chi, or pilates can improve flexibility, strength, and overall well-being. Biking, on the other hand, is primarily a physical exercise that focuses on cardiovascular fitness and does not necessarily involve the same level of mental concentration and mindfulness as the other options.Rate this question:

- C.
C. being patient
- D.
D. rewarding yourself with food

While it is important to celebrate achievements and milestones, using food as a reward can potentially lead to overeating or unhealthy eating habits. Instead, it is more beneficial to find non-food related rewards such as treating yourself to a spa day, buying new clothes, or engaging in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment.Rate this question:

- B.
B. 2-3 pounds
- C.
C. 3-4 pounds
- D.
D. 4-5 pounds
Correct Answer
A. A. 1-2 poundsExplanation
Aiming to lose 1-2 pounds per week is considered a healthy and sustainable weight loss goal. Losing weight at this rate allows for gradual and consistent progress, which is more likely to be maintained in the long term. Rapid weight loss can be detrimental to health and often leads to muscle loss instead of fat loss. It is important to focus on making lifestyle changes such as adopting a balanced diet and regular exercise rather than aiming for quick results.Rate this question:

- A.
A. True
- B.
B. False
Correct Answer
A. A. TrueExplanation
Losing 5-10% of body weight can have significant health benefits. This weight loss can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. It can also improve blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and overall cardiovascular health. Additionally, losing weight can enhance mobility, reduce joint pain, and improve sleep quality. Therefore, it is true that a weight loss of 5-10% of body weight can produce health benefits.Rate this question:

A 5-10% weight loss can improve
- A.
A. blood pressure
- B.
B. blood cholesterol
- C.
C. blood sugar
- D.
D. all of the above
Correct Answer
D. D. all of the aboveExplanation
A 5-10% weight loss can improve blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. This is because excess weight puts strain on the cardiovascular system, leading to high blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Additionally, obesity is a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes, so losing weight can help regulate blood sugar levels. Therefore, all of the above options are correct.Rate this question:

- A.
A. food log
- B.
B. food diary
- C.
C. asking your mom
- D.
D. diet app
Correct Answer
C. C. asking your momExplanation
Asking your mom is not a useful tool for understanding what, how much, and when you're eating because she may not have accurate knowledge of your eating habits and may not be able to provide objective information. A food log, food diary, and diet app are all effective tools that can help you track and analyze your eating patterns and make informed decisions about your diet.Rate this question:
