With content targeted specifically toward the college-age population, Fitness and Wellness: A Way of Life With HKPropel Access presents evidence-based physical and mental health guidance to point students toward healthy choices that will develop into healthy lifestyles.

Authors Carol K. Armbruster, Ellen M. Evans, and Catherine M. Laughlin have more than 80 years of combined health and wellness professional experience, the majority of which has focused on the college population. This enables them to present the material in a contemporary manner that is easily relatable and understood by students.

Relevant information on topics such as cardiovascular exercise, strength training, stretching, nutrition, weight management, stress management, substance abuse and addiction, and sexual health will start students on the path to developing a healthy mind and body, which can lead to a better quality of life. Additionally, because Fitness and Wellness: A Way of Life emphasizes behavior modification to develop desired habits, students are armed with the tools they need to make healthy lifestyle changes—for both the present and future:

Related online learning tools delivered through HKPropel offer 48 video clips and practical learning activities to provide real-life context to the material
Behavior Check sidebars help students integrate health and wellness concepts into their daily lives
Now and Later sidebars encourage students to consider how their actions today will affect them in the future
The Functional Movement Training section shows exercises to strengthen specific muscles and explains their importance for common activities
Infographics, evidence-based tables, and figures illustrate and reinforce key concepts so they are easy to understand

The online activities in HKPropel offer students the unique opportunity to engage directly with the content and practice the exercises and strategies presented. In addition to the 48 exercises demonstrating proper exercise technique, lab activities for each chapter will guide students in completing individual assessments, setting goals, and identifying the pros and cons of modifying their behavior. The labs may be assigned by instructors and tracked within HKPropel, and chapter quizzes (assessments) that are automatically graded may also be assigned to gauge student comprehension of the content.

The primary goal of Fitness and Wellness: A Way of Life is to provide a personal, evidence-based tool to help students embrace living well. They will learn how to make healthy choices and positive behavior changes to lead and sustain healthier, happier, and more productive lives, now and in the future.

Note: A code for accessing HKPropel is included with all new print books.
