Document Summary
Nature play: self-directed play in an outdoor environment. Physical activity: movement of body produced by skeletal muscles (requires energy). Exercise = regular pa of some sort: exercise plays a less significant role in losing weight. Monitoring nutrition plays a more significant role than exercise does. Eat less play more = not true; you need nutrients: weight loss is a bad intrinsic motivator. Intrinsic motivation = long-term motivation (leads to long-term change). In order for individuals to maintain long term lifestyle changes, the motivation needs to come from improving their health and well-being: unrealistic comparisons! Set goal as living a healthier lifestyle without making dramatic/unsustainable changes. The benefits are there as long as exercise is consistent!
