Comments:
This material promotes physical activity to an adult population that perceives time as a barrier to being regularly active. The material emphasizes non-exercise related activities and provides tips for overcoming time barriers that occur during the workweek and when traveling. The material does a good job in reflecting the current physical activity message and including multiethnic illustrations. While the organization of the material and 9th grade reading level are only "adequate", the general aesthetics and visual appeal of the material are very good. Overall, this colorful material does a fairly good job of promoting the physical activity message by covering various topics that include reasons for being active, examples of 10 to 15 minute activities, examples of simple stretching and strengthening activities, and staying motivated. In addition, the material also addresses how to eat healthy when busy and on the run.
