Document Summary
Precontemplation (eduction about the link between exercise and well-being (ex. videos) Contemplation (will you feel good about yourself as a couch potato"?) Preparation (organize and start planning for new physically active lifestyle: ex. plan out costs, find an exercise partner. Action (tips on overcoming barriers and maintaining motivation) Maintenance (need to plan ahead and identify situations that might cause them to lapse) Cannot reliably predict which stage a person will move to and when. Fails to fully explain the mechanism by which people change their activity behaviour and move across the stages. Doesn"t allow for the fact that many people do not exhibit a steady progression through the stages; they may skip forward or regress back. Considers individual influence on health behaviour as well as other levels of influence on health behaviours: physical environment, community, society, government.
