  1. Exercise Behavior—why we start and why we stop

  2. Why do we start?

  3. How many of you have started a routine? • How many of you are still engaged in the routine? • We are going to talk about 6 STAGES OF EXERCISE BEHAVIOR

  4. 1) PrecontemplationStage • Not thinking about it seriously • Believe they can’t change their habits • Demoralized by past attempts • Think exercise is stupid and demonstrates conformity

  5. 2) Contemplation Stage • Thought about it and WANT to do it…in the next 6 months

  6. 3) Preparation stage • Started exercising but do not follow a strict routine • Have created a PLAN • Exercise has minimal positive effects

  7. 4) Action stage • Exercise regularly (3 X week for a min of 20 min.) • Less than 6 months • Most tend to drop out here

  8. 5) Maintenance Stage • More than 6 months • Goal is no longer change…it is to maintain • Start to get bored…you achieved your goal so now what…?

  9. 6) Termination stage • regularly exercise for over 5 years • After 5 years at this stage…people tend to stick with it for life

  10. Intervention strategies

  11. 1) Behavior Modification Approaches • Includes cues such as setting out work-out clothes or motivation posters • May include verbal, physical or symbolic prompts that cause the person to begin thinking about exercise

  12. 2) Reinforcement approaches • Positive rewards for exercise and restriction from unhealthy foods • Charting attendance

  13. Cognitive-behavioral approaches • Goal setting • High self-efficacy should set their own goals • Low self-efficacy should have someone else set them.

  14. Decision-making approaches • Decision balance sheet identifying specifically how the person would benefit from exercise and identifying losses • i.e., a pros/cons list

  15. Social support approach • Enlisting others as support for staying on track increases the chances of adhering to a routine

  16. Intrinsic approaches • Focusing on the experience of exercising • Focus on engaging in purposeful and meaningful activities
