Participants will receive information on the timing of two pre-program assignments. One is an online Assessment, including 8 habit areas. The second assignment will be the completion of a physical examination administered by Cardio-Kinetics. The physical examination will occur 3-4 weeks prior to the beginning of the 6-session education program allowing time for the Assessment and analysis.
2. Assessments
 The completion of Assessments takes approximately 3-4 hours. Through the Assessments, Habit Change, A Whole Life Health Company and participants get a clear picture of how they understand and regard themselves in the Assessment areas described below. Information derived from the Assessments is then analyzed to develop each the participant’s Starting Point. The Starting Point establishes that the baseline for each person’s Life Plan developed in partnership with the Habit Change Coach.
