I. Specifically what can you do to decrease your risk NOW.

II. How will those changes benefit your future health.

Part E: Civic Engagement and Social Responsibility

Hopefully your workouts have allowed you to experience the positive benefits of physical activity. It is now time to share that with others. Physically inactive individuals are at greater risk for cardiovascular disease. According to the Center for Disease Control, if every physically inactive person became active, we would save $77 billion in health care costs every year. Only 1 in 5 adults and 1 in 3 children get the recommended amount of physical activity.

Invite at least 2 people (adult or child) to participate in a workout with you. It can be your regular workout or you can do something different (ride bikes, take a free class at gym, try a new workout DVD).

Reflect on this experience and include the following information:

I. Who did you invite to workout with you and why did you choose that person?

II. What information did you share to encourage them to participate?

III. Did you notice a difference in the individual's attitudes toward physical activity with regards to their age, ethnic background or socioeconomic background?

IV. Explain the possible implications on our nation if everyone who is active encouraged others to become active too.

V. What other ways could you encourage physical activity in adults and children?
