Adults who are physically uneducated often find themselves in awkward and unpleasant situations. For example, they may:

• Be overweight as a result of physical inactivity
• Have chronic lower back pain
• Have painful memories of begin picked last when teams where chosen
• Remember being laughed at because they couldn't catch a softball or were afraid of a volleyball
• Recall being last whenever they ran laps
• Dread the memory of never being able to do even one pull-up on the physical fitness test
• Be uncomfortable starting, and maintaining, an exercise program
• Feel like a "klutz" and make excuses to avoid physical activity
• Believe that athletes were born that way
• Not understand that there a virtually hundreds of ways to exercise and that they would enjoy some of them
