Pathways to Success with Exercise

Fulfill the 3 C’s: Comprehension, Commitment and Confidence.

• Comprehension—understand the reason why it is important for you to exercise on a regular basis by talking with a health care professional or by reading educational exercise materials.  This will provide a strong base for your commitment.

• Commitment—make a personal decision to place exercise as a priority in your day’s activities.  Make exercise a ritual.  Write time for exercise in your appointment book—in ink.

• Confidence—set small, reasonable goals.  Reward and praise yourself when reaching the steps that will lead you to your ultimate objective.  Don’t let small setbacks sabotage your long-term success.
