Benefi ts of regular physical activityWeight Management Manage Glucose LevelsManage Hypertension Manage StressIncreased Energy Better, Deeper Healing SleepBetter Digestion Manage Medication
What participants are saying:“Talking to a coach was effective in many ways:• It helped me to examine and clarify my approach to exercise parameters• It helped me to explore the reasons for my reluctance to exercise • It provided an incentive to exercise • And I wish to thank my coach, for her caring and supportive ways and her encour-
agement in these past months.”
“This program has been absolutely wonderful for me. I now walk every day, often 30 - 60 minutes. I walk at lunch or after work, it relieves my stress, in fact the changes have been terrifi c and the program has been excellent for me. The coach has been very supportive and encouraging and I am going to miss her at the end of the six months. And, I am now down 14 lbs, it has all been terrifi c.”
“It is a privilege to be part of the Active Choices program. It has helped me manage my diabetes. I got through Christmas although my aquacizes were cancelled. I do aquacizes three times per week and walk in between and it is amazing my glucose readings are now below 7 before that it was 8 and above. My coach is wonderful, she is supportive and knowledgeable as I said, it really is a privilege. I am now down 21 lbs.”
Need help staying on a physical activity plan? Active Choices can help, it is personal, individualized and convenient.
Please Note: Active Choices is a telephone driven program. The coach will have an initial in person meeting with the participant to help design physical activity goals and all additional contacts will be by telephone. It has proven to be a successful motivational technique.
