Have you checked out the new and improved Active Living Every Day Online tools? Human Kinetics recently updated and reorganized the online resources to help participants access the activity logs, forms, and other items. Because of the increasing popularity of online resources as a way to make lifestyle changes last, we now sell only the Active Living Every Day Participant Package, which includes the Active Living Every Day book and online tools. The package’s price has been reduced from $49.95 to $34.95, a savings of $15! As of March 1, Human Kinetics no longer sells the book or online version by itself.
The Active Living Every Day book is the text for all Active Living Every Day classes. The Active Living Every Day online tools are supplements to the text and classes. Even for those who aren’t taking a class with a trained facilitator, people can purchase the package on their own to help them become and stay physically active.
The online tools feature forms, weekly quizzes, Web links, and suggested readings that will help participants fully understand the week’s core concepts as laid out in the text. In addition, the new Active Living Every Day tools help participant track their progress over 20 weeks as they fill out logs for minutes of activity, step logs, and forms indicating short- and long-term goals. By the end of the 20-week program, participants will know more about self-monitoring, setting realistic goals, enlisting social support, and many other topics related to behavior change.
The Active Living Every Day curriculum provides flexible delivery options. The program can be delivered in weekly in-person group sessions, through online participation with facilitator support, or in a hybrid format that combines online participation with periodic group sessions. If you are interested in becoming an Active Living Every Day facilitator or participant, please contact program manager Bhibha Das at 800-747-4457, ext. 2455.
