Select the correct answer.Raoul is writing a report recommending a fitness routine for residents at a community center. He examines this information:Exercise and physical activity fall into four basic categories: endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility. Endurance activities, such as brisk walking or jogging, increase your breathing and heart rate. Strength exercises, such as lifting weights or doing push-ups, make your muscles stronger. Balance exercises help prevent falls, and flexibility exercises help keep the body limber.Most people tend to focus on one activity or type of exercise and think they’re doing enough. Because each type of exercise is different, participating in all four will give you more benefits. Mixing it up also helps to reduce boredom and risk of injury. Some activities fit into more than one category. For example, many endurance activities also build strength. Strength exercises can also help improve balance.After examining the information, which conclusion can Raoul form to include in his report? A. Residents should avoid doing different types of exercises at the same time because each type is unique. B. Residents should select one type of physical exercise to do because it would be the most beneficial for their health. C. Residents should avoid mixing different types of physical exercise because there is a risk that it can lead to injury. D. Residents should participate in a combination of endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility exercises each week. E. Residents should select an exercise routine based on whether they want to improve muscle strength or increase heart rate.
