7) After being sedentary for the past three years, 24-year-old Angelica started working out last
year. She started out exercising three days a week for about an hour and has now worked up

day—usually early morning and then after work. Based on physical activity guidelines,
exercising too much or at an excessive intensity may actually be detrimental, rather than
beneficial, to health.
