2. "I will exercise once a week for 30 minutes."
3. "I will try to exercise every day."
4. "I should exercise for at least 60 minutes when I exercise."

Clients should work toward a goal of 30 minutes of exercise daily. The intensity of exercise should allow for both breathing and talking with ease during the exercise. The other statements are incorrect and would indicate that the client needs additional instruction regarding exercise.
