How often should variation be added to a client's program?

1. Every week

2. Approximately every two weeks

3. Once a month

4. Every six months

The correct answer is: Approximately every two weeks

Adding variation to a client's program is an important aspect of personal training, as it keeps the client's workouts challenging and interesting. Option A and C are both too frequent, as the body needs time to properly adjust to new exercises and training methods. This process typically takes longer than a week or a month. Option D is too infrequent, as it does not allow for enough variation to prevent the client from reaching a plateau. Approximately every two weeks is a good middle ground, allowing for enough time for the body to adapt, but not so much time that progress becomes stagnant. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
