Document Summary
Few studies have examined the exercise related thoughts of non-exercisers. 40 women aged 25-75 were chosen to participate in one of 6 focus groups, based on their age and contingent on their status as a non exerciser. A non-exerciser was defined as engaging in exercise activity one time a week or less in the past 6 months to a year (not classified as regular exercisers) Each focus group was composed of 5-7 women with two groups for each of the following age categories: 25-35, 45-55, 65-75. 25-35 & 45-55 age group everyday i think about it, several times a day, usually in the morning and at night . 65-75 age group no, not really. I just do things, i do not actively think about exercise. All age categories time consuming, boring, not enjoyable, can be lonely. Can see themselves working hard but not enjoying it.
