	CONTENT: The American Heart Association created just Move in an effort to help people learn the importance of nutrition and exercise as part of a heart healthy lifestyle.
	SITE DESIGN: The site is user-friendly with links to the major areas listed on the main page. A search tool is provided as well as a site map. Internal pages have a drop down menu for moving between the sections.
	REVIEW: Just Move contains resources and information for anyone interested in keeping fit and living a healthy lifestyle. There are three main sections of the site: Exercise Diary, Fitness Resources and My Fitness. The Exercise Diary offers users the opportunity to record their daily fitness regimen and keep a log of their activity and how they are meeting the goals they have set. Registration is required but it is free. The Fitness Resources include a FAQ about exercise and heart disease, a fact sheet that covers important subjects in diet, physical activity and cardiovascular health, and other heart health related topics. In the section on My Fitness users choose the activity profile that describes their level of fitness and receive specific suggestions for that lifestyle. Additionally, heart healthy tips are displayed on the right side of the page as visitors move through the site.
