Building The Habit Of Exercise

Synopsis

When it comes to wellbeing, many individuals are very well aware of the behaviours that are most beneficial for their health, but often struggle to bridge that knowledge into practice – and this tends to particularly be the case with exercise. This training applies an evidence-based framework for individuals to identify what stage of change they are in, so they can apply strategies that are proven most effective to move towards maintenance.

The framework can be applied to total beginners, to individuals who exercised in the past but lost the habit, to individuals who train regularly but might benefit from changing their routine and including different modalities for greater balance. This is a very practical session aiming to take attendees step-by-step through a process to make exercise a stable part of their routine.
