Well, if you have ever wondered why we continue to set exercise goals but fail to follow through, a powerful study carried out by the Public Health Agency of Canada reveals that people exercise according to their level of self-confidence and motivation. Sai Yi Pan who led the study reported, “Confidence in one’s personal ability to carry out exercise plays a central role in the direction, intensity and persistence of health-behavior change.” After interviewing 5167 Canadians Sai Yi Pan and her associates learned that those who said they were confident they could stick to a regular exercise program and had set an intention to do it, were the ones who were more physically active. Gender, age, income, and education level seemed to have no bearing on the results. What is important is the confidence you have in your ability to exercise or be active at some level whether it is walking around the house or running on the tread mill, that is essential in making the transition to an active lifestyle. Edward McAuley, PhD., an exercise physiologist at the University of Illinois states, ”You have to start by setting goals that are challenging but realistic. Early success improves you confidence about other challenges.” Another essential component in achieving a successful transition from sedentary habits into an active lifestyle is to reward your confidence for the goals you have achieved. According to Brad Cardinal PhD. from Oregon State University these self-rewards are powerful tools for keeping yourself on track. “The reward doesn’t have to be extravagant. What’s important is that you treat yourself.” Cardinal also believes a key to long-term success is to have an image of who you think you are. “People who succeed at this are the ones who make exercise a part of their identity, and that identity reinforces their exercise habit,” says Cardinal. Finally, all of the experts report that setbacks are to be expected. You fail your way to success. See less »
