AFAA Group Fitness Instructor Practice Test

This set focuses on building muscular strength and endurance through multi‑joint, resistance movements. The squat to overhead press combines lower‑body and upper‑body work in one fluid pattern, challenging large muscle groups and the core as you stabilize through the movement. Push‑ups engage the chest, shoulders, and triceps; bent‑over rows target the back and arms; biceps curls isolate the arms; and lunge variations work the legs while also demanding balance and core control. Collectively, these moves form the strength and resistance portion of a workout.

Movement prep is about warming up and preparing joints and muscles for activity, so it wouldn’t be the primary set of strength work. Class formats refer to how a session is structured or labeled, not the specific exercise focus. A core sequence would emphasize abdominal and spine-stabilizing work, rather than a broad strength program covering multiple major muscle groups.
