APPROPRIATE POPULATIONS: Adults, educated individuals

READING LEVEL (SMOG): 10th Grade

PUBLICATION DATE: 1996

Comments:
This material promotes individuals to be physically active in a way that suits them best while educating them on what physical fitness is, why people are physically active and how to stay motivated. No specific populations are addressed through this material although the material appears appropriate for individuals looking to be educated more on physical activity. The message is organized well around the focus of educating people on the variety of activities people do, reasons why people exercise, what physical fitness is, and how to stay motivated. The amount of physical activity being promoted is limited to moderate intensity activity that is of interest and performed for about 30 minutes a day several times a week. The 10th grade reading level, which is a little high, is "good" as the grade level is inflated due to the repeated use of the words "exercise" and "exercising". While the figures are limited to the cover photo the formatting does a good at making the text easier to follow. Overall, this material does a good job at educating it's audience on various issues related to creating an exercise program that is right for them.
