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.]

Reframe your exercise goals. Instead of thinking of #exercise as a way to "lose weight" or "get fit", focus on improving quality of life (improve energy, lower stress). This improves motivation and results in increased exercise commitment https://t.co/T35dbDb5YQ
