Getting Fit with No Time and No Money

PRODUCED BY: ETR Associates

TYPE OF MATERIAL: Brochure (4 panel)

APPROPRIATE POPULATIONS: Adult and Adolescent Students

READING LEVEL (SMOG): 9th Grade

PUBLICATION DATE: 1999

Comments:
This material promotes that being fit and physically active is easier than one would think while also giving good reasons for being active. Special populations being addressed include adolescents and adults on a busy schedule with specific examples being aimed at college students. The material is presented in a fairly organized manner under the topics of how much activity to get, how to fit activity into your day, dealing with excuses of why not to exercise, and tips for saving money. While the figures are limited in this material to the cover photo, the formatting does a good job at making the text easier to follow. The 9th grade reading level for this material which is "adequate" complements the extra text presented in the material. Overall, this material presents a good educational message for this population through its attention to not only being active but also through its attention on how to deal with common barriers to being physically active.
