Julie has just completed an exercise confidence survey as part of her initial consultation. She indicated that she has low confidence in her ability to stick with an exercise program after a long, tiring day at work. Which of the following strategies would be the BEST option for enhancing Julie’s adherence to her exercise program?
The Correct Answer is: Suggest scheduling her workout sessions before work or during her lunch hour. Why? The requirements of Julie’s job are factors that most likely cannot be changed. Since Julie often feels exhausted after work, the best option would be to have her complete her workouts earlier in the day before the physical and mental feelings of tiredness set in.
