The focus of this material is aimed at individuals trying to start an exercise program while also providing information on how to make exercise a regular part of their lives. No specific populations are targeted in the material although it would be appropriate for younger and older adults of any ethnic group. The amount and type of physical activity being promoted is good while emphasizing the option of accumulating 30 minutes of activity per day and the need for support systems. The message is clear and well organized around 10 simple tips that are clear and easy to follow due to the layout of the message on the page. The 8th grade reading level along with the pictures and short sentences make this a generally appealing brochure.
