Speaker Notes:

Let's see how the Counseling Support Tool works while reviewing two of the questions.

Question 1: How many days a week do you do physical activity? (There are five possible answers.)

• If your patient answered either 7 days or 5–6 days, then no change is needed since she is meeting the guidelines

• If your patient gave any of the highlighted answers, then she is not meeting the guidelines of engaging in 60 minutes of physical activity most days of the week, preferably daily. So the recommendation that you can write down in the Guide is to "be physically active more days of the week," and you can refer her to pages 16–18 of the Guide.
