THE TASK

Imagine you are a famous fitness trainer. You just opened a fitness club and are concerned about people who live inactive lifestyles. Your first new client is Bob, a 40 year old, overweight male who used to be a college football player. Bob has put on a significant amount of weight since his college years and now lives a very inactive lifestyle.

Your goal is to teach Bob about the benefits of physical activity, the risks involved with being inactive, and ways to become more active by answering the questions on your worksheet.
