EXERCISE BEHAVIOR—WHY WE START AND WHY
WE STOP
WHY DO WE START?
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
• Not thinking about it seriously
• Believe they can’t change their habits
• Demoralized by past attempts
• Think exercise is stupid and demonstrates conformity
1) PRECONTEMPLATION STAGE
• Thought about it and WANT to do it…in the next 6 months
2) CONTEMPLATION STAGE
• Started exercising but do not follow a strict routine
• Have created a PLAN
• Exercise has minimal positive effects
3) PREPARATION STAGE
• Exercise regularly (3 X week for a min of 20 min.)
• Less than 6 months
• Most tend to drop out here
4) ACTION 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…?
5) MAINTENANCE STAGE
• regularly exercise for over 5 years
• After 5 years at this stage…people tend to stick with it for life
6) TERMINATION STAGE
INTERVENTION STRATEGIES
• 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
1) BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION APPROACHES
• Positive rewards for exercise and restriction from unhealthy foods
• Charting attendance
2) REINFORCEMENT APPROACHES
• Goal setting
• High self-efficacy should set their own goals
• Low self-efficacy should have someone else set them.
COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL APPROACHES
• Decision balance sheet identifying specifically how the person would benefit from exercise and identifying losses
• i.e., a pros/cons list
DECISION-MAKING APPROACHES
• Enlisting others as support for staying on track increases the chances of adhering to a routine
SOCIAL SUPPORT APPROACH
• Focusing on the experience of exercising
• Focus on engaging in purposeful and meaningful activities
INTRINSIC APPROACHES
