Comments:
This material is designed for adult women of all ethnicities, who have heart disease or are at risk of developing heart disease. It gives a brief overview of coronary heart disease, its risk factors, and how physical activity can reduce its occurrence. Written on the 9th grade reading level, it is too high for many individuals. The material is full of many facts but is not visually appealing. It has a wonderful sample of a walking program along with the benefits of regular physical activity.
