Question

which of the following is an example of a healthy short - term goal?
a. bench press an additional 100 pounds
b. lose 40 pounds
c. eat nutritious meals
d. improve grades from one academic year to the next
please select the best answer from the choices provided.
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

• Option A: Bench pressing an additional 100 pounds is an unrealistic short - term goal as it requires significant strength gain over a short period, and may not be healthy if rushed.
• Option B: Losing 40 pounds is a long - term goal (healthy weight loss is usually 1 - 2 pounds per week), so it's not a short - term goal.
• Option C: Eating nutritious meals can be achieved on a daily or weekly basis, making it a healthy short - term goal as it promotes good health and is feasible in the short term.
• Option D: Improving grades from one academic year to the next is a long - term goal as it spans an entire academic year.

Answer:

C. eat nutritious meals
