Comments:
This material promotes the current physical activity message for US adults while providing examples of population specific activities that promote healthy aging. Special populations being addressed include older adults with specific reference to those over 60. The material presents the physical activity message in a clear and creative manner that is easy to work with and remember. The 11th grade reading level for this material, which is a little high, is "good" as the grade level is slightly inflated due to the repeated use of the word "activities". The colorful and creative illustrations, which reflect various ethnic groups, make the material attractive to the eye. Along with promoting increased general physical activity, this material also promotes aerobic, flexibility, and strengthening exercises.
