This paragraph best supports the statement that

Options:

A . fitness walking is a better form of exercise than weight lifting.

B . a membership in a health club is a poor investment.

C . walking outdoors provides a better workout than walking indoors.

D . fitness walking is a convenient and valuable form of exercise.

E . poorly designed athletic shoes can cause major foot injuries.

Answer: Option D
By stating that fitness walking does not require a commute to a health club, the author stresses the convenience of this form of exercise. The paragraph also states that fitness walking will result in a good workout. Choice a is incorrect because no comparison to weight lifting is made. Choice b may seem like a logical answer, but the paragraph only refers to people who are fitness walkers, so for others, a health club might be a good investment. Choice c is not in the passage. Although choice e seems logical, the paragraph does not indicate that the wrong shoes will produce major injuries.
