Q

As a group fitness instructor (GFI), your desire is for your clients to benefit from an exercise program. What should your primary goal be?
a. For each participant to adhere maximally to an exercise
program
b. For each participant to enjoy their exercise program and be engaged in it
c. For each participant to master the routine
d. For each participant to have an ideal body mass index (BMI).

A

b. By maximizing participant enjoyment and engagement, exercise participants can develop intrinsic motivation to adhere to a fitness program. Since individuals have different levels of intrinsic motivation, the GFI can play a role in increasing intrinsic motivation to exercise by offering strong choreography, compelling music, energetic cueing, and positive reinforcement.
