What frequency of exercise should the kinesiologist prescribe to a bariatric client aiming to lose weight and normalize blood pressure?

The prescribed frequency of exercise for a bariatric client aiming to lose weight and normalize blood pressure should focus on promoting consistent activity while ensuring that it is manageable and effective for the client’s individual needs. Engaging in physical activity every day can help in establishing a routine and fostering lifestyle changes that contribute to weight loss and improved cardiovascular health.

Exercising daily for 30 minutes allows for adequate calorie expenditure, which is crucial in weight loss. It also promotes the habit of regular activity, which is essential in developing long-term adherence to an exercise regimen. Additionally, daily exercise can provide more opportunities for hypertensive clients to improve their blood pressure regulation through positive adaptations in cardiovascular fitness and muscle tone.

The other options, while they may contribute to weight loss, do not emphasize the importance of consistency and a daily routine at the optimal frequency for the targeted goals of weight loss and blood pressure management. Lower frequencies might not provide the same level of effectiveness in achieving these health outcomes, particularly for bariatric clients.
