TABLE III. ENABLING FACTORS.

Factor	Examples of Quotes
Lack of time	Life in America is different from Hong Kong or China. It’s hard to find a time that works for everyone. We have people working all the different shifts. (Seattle man) I need to leave home at 5.30 in the morning. I also need to prepare dinner and mop the floor. I am usually busy non-stop. (Seattle woman) People who need to work and study have no time to exercise. We need something like “instant noodle” that can burn energy quickly. (Vancouver woman)
Financial concerns	Exercise machines cost too much money. (Seattle woman) Golfing is too costly for me. (Vancouver man)
Weather conditions	When it rains or snows, you can’t exercise in the park. Now, all the leaves have fallen from the trees and the northern wind is blowing. (Seattle man) It really depends on the weather. In summer, we go out in the morning as well as in the evening. However, in the winter, I’m not willing to go out. (Vancouver woman)
Safety issues	The safety issue has become a barrier. Even if I wanted to jog, I wouldn’t dare to jog early in the morning. (Seattle man) You need to think about safety. (Vancouver woman)
Lack of information about physical activity facilities	I want to play tennis but don’t know where the tennis court is. (Seattle man) I still don’t know where the swimming pool is.

You have to get familiar with the resources in your new setting. (Vancouver man)
Availability of organized activities for Chinese	At my neighborhood park, there are many Hispanic men playing soccer. We don’t have a Chinese group that organizes this kind of exercise activity. (Seattle man) My parents’ English is not good. They need a place where Chinese people can exercise. (Seattle woman) There is no place for dancing here. If only there could only be a place in Chinatown for dancing like there was in China. (Seattle woman)
