According to the 2018 physical activity guidelines for Americans, adults should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week. They should also engage in muscle-strengthening activities that involve all major muscle groups on 2 or more days a week.
Let's check each of Arnold's weekly workout plans:
1. Golfing for 2 hours every Sunday: This would provide 2 hours of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, meeting the guidelines.
2. Biking for 45 minutes a day, 3 days a week: This would provide a total of 135 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, meeting the guidelines.
3. Running for 15 minutes a day, 6 times a week: This would provide a total of 90 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, which falls short of the minimum recommendation.
4. Walking for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week: This would provide a total of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, meeting the guidelines.
Based on the above analysis, options 1, 2, and 4 meet the minimum recommendations set by the 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
