Internal Barriers to Exercise
Barrier | Definition |
---|---|
Intimidation & Embarrassment | Those new to exercising often perceive health and fitness environment as intimidating |
Self Preservation & Social Physique Anxiety | Instructor should be non judgmental and should diffuse, reduce or eliminate anxiety |
Low Self-Esteem & Self-Confidence | Build peoples confidence that they can exercise on a regular basis |
Outcome Orientation | Do not overemphasize on outcome, people are more motivated by the short term, positive feelings from exercising |
Perceived Lack of Time | As exercise increases in perceived value, the barrier of "time" is reduced |
Perceived Inconvenience | An individualized exercise program helps initially to reduce this barrier |
