What is a key component of program design step 1?

1. Selecting workout music

2. Finalizing the workout schedule

3. Gathering client's health and exercise history

4. Choosing the color of the workout gear

The correct answer is: Gathering client's health and exercise history

A key component of program design step 1 is gathering the client's health and exercise history. This is important because it provides valuable information about the client's current physical condition, any pre-existing injuries or medical conditions, and their exercise preferences and goals. It also helps the trainer tailor the workout program to the client's specific needs and limitations. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not pertain to the first step of program design, which is gathering necessary information about the client. While workout music and schedule are important aspects of designing a program and may be addressed in later steps, they are not the first step. Choosing the color of the workout gear is not relevant to program design and is not mentioned at all in the question. Therefore, option C is the only choice that is directly related to program design step 1.
