This study examines preservice classroom teachers (PCTs) personal health behaviors and perceived barriers toward movement integration (MI) in schools. The findings reveal that the PCTs became more aware of and made changes to their lifestyles through participation in PEPI. Although PCTs perceived the presence of organizational barriers in implementing MI, they consistently believed in the benefits of MI. Helping PCTs to become aware of and make changes to their lifestyles will strengthen their beliefs as prospective agents of change in the health and well-being of their students.
