Comments:
This material promotes the current physical activity message for US adults while providing examples of various common and fun activities that promote lifelong physical activity. Special populations being addressed include minorities, through the multiethnic illustrations; adults; and individuals ranging from those trying to initiate an exercise program to those who are currently active trying to make their physical activity more fun. The material presents the physical activity message in a clear and creative manner that is easy to remember and work with while also providing specific strategies for individuals who are inactive, sporadic, or consistent with their physical activity. The 10th grade reading level, which is a little high, is "good" as the grade level is slightly inflated due to the repeated use of the phrase "physical activity" throughout the material. The colorful and appealing illustrations complement the material well. The material is also available in the Spanish language and in the form of table tents, magnets, posters and t-shirts.
