Which practice should a high school physical education teacher suggest students follow in order to incorporate social media into the physical fitness aspects of their lives?

• A. Initiating a 45-minute physical activity per day challenge
• B. Posting every workout on social media
• C. Avoiding any use of social media related to fitness
• D. Using social media only for unrelated content

Answer: (A)

Using social media to support physical activity works best when it centers on a clear, doable daily goal. Initiating a 45-minute physical activity per day challenge gives students a concrete target that can be met through various activities, helps them plan their day, and builds a habit of movement. When students have a daily goal, social media can serve as a platform for accountability and encouragement—sharing progress, celebrating consistency, and supporting peers—without forcing constant posting or turning everything into a performance. This integrates the social element in a constructive way and can be tailored to individual schedules and interests, which is practical in a high school setting. It also teaches tracking and self-monitoring skills, which are important for long-term fitness adherence.
