What Does the Score Mean?

75–88	62–74	48–61	31–47	0–30
EXCELLENT	VERY GOOD	GOOD	FAIR	NEEDS IMPROVEMENT
Note: A low total score does not mean that you have failed. There is always the chance to change your lifestyle – starting now. Look at the areas where you scored a 0 or 1 and decide which areas you want to work on first.
TIPS for making lifestyle changes: Don’t try to change all the areas at once. This will be too overwhelming for you. Writing down your proposed changes and your overall goal will help you to succeed. Make changes in small steps towards the overall goal. Enlist the help of a friend to make similar changes and/or to support you in your attempts. Congratulate yourself for achieving each step. Give yourself appropriate rewards. Ask your local fitness instructors, family physician, nurse or health department for more information on any of these areas
