Abstract
One hundred thirteen women were accepted and 81 completed this study, which stratified the women by their baseline stage of exercise. The wo men were then randomly assigned to one of three self-instructional fit ness programs. Overall, 43.2% improved, 42% maintained, and 14.8% regr essed their stage of exercise. Sample sizes were too small to detect a ny statistically significant difference in the improvements between th e groups.
