Larry started a fitness program about 8 weeks ago. He runs 2 miles every day and does some weight training. He likes to use weight machines and focuses on 1 or 2 muscle groups each day. He could initially do 6 repetitions of most exercises in his program, and he can now do 15-20. Larry likes the initial improvement in his energy level and appearance since starting the program. He has noticed that his work in construction seems a little easier, too.

A. using proper body mechanics when executing sports skills.
B. staying in condition and avoiding haphazard programs.
