National Council for Certified Personal Trainers (NCCPT) Practice Test

When a client is struggling to lose weight despite their efforts, reviewing their workout habits is a vital step. This assessment provides an opportunity to identify any potential issues with their exercise routine, such as the type, duration, or intensity of workouts.

Changes in workout habits can help enhance metabolic rate, increase muscle mass, and improve overall calorie burn throughout the day. A trainer can evaluate if the current program is effective and suitable for the client's fitness level and goals, and make adjustments as necessary, whether that involves increasing intensity, introducing new exercises, or altering the frequency of workouts.

Other options, while they may seem beneficial, do not directly address the client's current exercise routine. Changing the entire diet plan or suggesting a new supplement regimen could be premature without first ensuring that the exercise component is optimized. Similarly, simply telling the client to exercise more may not provide specific guidance on how to effectively change their routine to achieve better results. Therefore, reviewing workout habits is a foundational step in helping the client overcome weight loss challenges.
