What are the keys to maintaining an exercise program?
What will be an ideal response?
Avoid overdoing exercise. Challenge negative thinking. If you have thoughts that discourage you, challenge your negative thinking with positive self-talk using the cognitive restructuring techniques. Look for intrinsic rewards. Select a type of exercise that is the most fun for you so that intrinsic rewards are built into the activity. Maintain a regular routine. Find a workout partner. Evidence indicates that we are more likely to maintain an exercise program if we have someone else to work out with. Avoid the abstinence violation effect. Recognize that it is normal to have lapses.
