Why is it advised for beginners not to participate in anaerobic intervals?

1. Due to the high risk of injury

2. Because it's too easy for them

3. To avoid over-exhaustion

4. It doesn't aid in muscle building

The correct answer is: Due to the high risk of injury

Participating in high intensity exercises such as anaerobic intervals can put beginners at a higher risk of injury as their bodies are not yet adapted to the stress and strain. It is important for beginners to slowly build up their endurance and strength before attempting intense workouts to prevent injury and overexertion. Additionally, anaerobic intervals typically require a certain level of fitness in order to be effective, so beginners may not get as much out of the exercise as more experienced individuals. Therefore, it is advised for beginners to focus on building a strong aerobic base before incorporating anaerobic intervals into their workouts. So, Option A is the correct answer.
