Abstract in brief
- The study explores how understanding people's core values and goals, especially related to health and aging, can help improve motivation for exercise by aligning exercise behaviors with those values.
- Results show that women who focus on immediate benefits like improving daily quality of life tend to exercise more than those aiming for long-term goals like health or aging, because immediate rewards are more motivating.
- To encourage consistent exercise, shifting the focus from distant health benefits to immediate, relatable outcomes—similar to marketing strategies—may make people more likely to stick with their routines.]
