Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Active Living Partners, a division of Human Kinetics, produces educational programs and tools that address physical inactivity and unbalanced eating--two leading causes of obesity, heart disease, and other chronic ailments. These programs, Active Living Every Day and Healthy Eating Every Day, have been successfully implemented worldwide in worksites, hospitals, community health programs, senior residences, colleges and universities, and fitness centers, as well as by individuals.

The success of Active Living programs in empowering people to permanently change their health habits can be traced to the following features:

-Focus on behavioral change. The underlying causes of poor health habits are addressed with an emphasis on lifestyle-management skills and realistically paced change.

-Scientific basis. Developed in partnership with The Cooper Institute, Active Living programs use curriculums that have been proven effective in clinical trials.

-Personalized approach. Programs may be tailored to each person's stage of readiness to change, lifestyle, and personal preferences.

-Flexible delivery options. Courses may be delivered in groups, online, or via phone or face-to-face coaching.

-Ongoing support. Comprehensive support is provided through the Active Living staff and Web site, www.ActiveLiving.info.
