Exercise and Emotional Factors Self-efficacy can be found in a person's confidence in his or her ability to be consistent with an exercise program. Self-worth tests assumptions about the value of the exercise for the individual. If a person is confident and finds value in an exercise program, then the person will be intrinsically motivated to continue exercise. This means that self-talk should be about desired health outcomes and improved quality of life rather than just being about weight loss and body image. This will help the individual find the confidence and the value needed to be consistent with an exercise program over the life course. |
